1982 Map of Blue Creek Mtn

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this topographic study of the California wilderness in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Blue Creek and Pecwan Creek, which carve through the high elevations of the Klamath Mountains. Notable landmarks such as Blue Creek Mtn, Nickowitz Peak, and Barren Butte rise above the deep canyons, illustrating the verticality of this remote timber and conservation land. The presence of Stevens Prairie and Bear Pen Flat suggests pockets of open terrain amidst the dense forest, while the boundary between Del Norte and Humboldt counties bisects the quadrangle. A few secondary access points are noted, including Lookout Point and several 4WD tracks, which provide the only human-made transit across these ridges.
