About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this section of the Klamath Mountains, where the border between Humboldt and Del Norte counties crosses a landscape defined by steep drainages and prominent ridges. High points such as South Red Mtn and Nickowitz Peak overlook a complex network of waterways, including the Crescent City Fork and the main stem of Blue Creek. The terrain is characterized by sharp elevation changes, as seen in the drop from Blue Creek Mtn Ridge down to Bear Cr and Pecwan Cr.

A network of Forest Service roads, including 13n01 and 14n02, provides access to these peaks and valleys, linking remote sites like Lookout Point and Bear Pen Flat. These routes trace the industrial and recreational access into the timberlands of the Pacific Northwest. This map documents the drainage patterns of the Bluff Creek watershed and the isolation of features like Barren Butte and Soapstone Gulch within the protected forest boundaries.
