About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this section of the California coastal range, where high ridgelines and deep drainage basins dictate the movement of both water and travelers. The Mad River cuts through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, fed by a complex network of tributaries including Bug Cr and Redwood Cr. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Board Camp Mtn and Board Camp Butte, connected by high ridges such as Taylor Ridge and Pilot Ridge.

A notable landscape characteristic is the presence of several natural clearings or "openings," such as White Oak Opening, Brays Opening, and Starvation Opening, which stand out against the heavily forested slopes. These clearings, along with water sources like Yellow Jacket Spring and Whiting Ridge Spring, have long served as essential landmarks for navigation. Human access is primarily maintained through forest routes and trails, most notably the Whiting Ridge Trl which follows the high ground of the eastern divides.
