2012 Map of Broken Rib Mountain

About this map

Broken Rib Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape in the Siskiyou Mountains, where the drainage systems of the Middle Fork Smith River and the E Fork Illinois River meet. This 2012 survey captures a remote wilderness managed through a network of US Forest Service routes, including Forest Rte 18N07 and Forest Rte 18N04. The area is marked by rugged peaks like Wounded Knee Mountain and Chicago Peak, with small high-mountain waters such as Whisky Lake and Sanger Lake providing focal points for back-country activity. The presence of Camp Chicago and Stevens Camp indicates established sites for seasonal habitation or resource management. Engineering through this difficult terrain is highlighted by the Randolph Collier Tunnel passing under Hazel View Summit, a critical transit point for the region's geography.
