2015 Map of Blue Creek Mountain

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this interior landscape where the boundary between Humboldt and Del Norte counties crosses high ridges and deep drainages. The topography is defined by the massive Blue Creek Mountain and the adjacent Blue Creek Mtn Ridge, providing a look at the wilderness character of the Klamath Mountains at the start of the 21st century. The complex drainage system of Blue Cr is central here, joined by tributaries such as the Crescent City Fork and Slide Cr. Evidence of forestry and fire management is visible through named points like Lookout Point and a network of forest roads, including Forest Rte 14N02. Named terrain features like Barren Butte, Soapstone Gulch, and Nickowitz Peak provide specific landmarks for those studying the remote geography of the Pacific Northwest's coastal ranges.
