About this map

The Kalmiopsis Wilderness dominates this remote portion of Curry County, where the preservation of the North Fork Smith Wild and Scenic River corridor is the primary focus. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp drainage systems and high peaks within the Siskiyou National Forest, showing how modern conservation boundaries overlay traditional survey lines like t40s r11w.

Access through this environment is limited to historical backcountry routes such as the North Fork Smith River Trl and the Sourdough Trl. These paths follow the natural contours between landmarks like Biscuit Hill and Red Mountain, tracing the same steep terrain as Chrome Creek and Hardtack Creek. The absence of roads emphasizes the protected status of these headwaters and the enduring isolation of geographic features like Pack Saddle Gulch.
