About this map

Scott River drainage patterns define this portion of Siskiyou County, where the confluence of several forks meets near the settlement at Callahan Po. The landscape is carved by numerous named gulches and flats, including French Flat and Ankeny Gulch, reflecting a history of land use and mountain habitation. High-elevation landmarks such as Craggy Peak and the Bolivar Lookout overlook a network of forest service roads, including the Callahan-Cecilville Rd, which provides access through the steep terrain.

Industrial and natural history converge at the Hjertager Mill and the remote Lower Mill Lake in the southeast. The map reveals the intricate water system of the region, from the W Boulder Cr to Noyes Valley Cr, and identifies specific topographic features like the McKeen Divide. These labels provide a detailed record of the geographic nomenclature used by the Forest Service and local residents during this era.
