2018 Map of Callahan

About this map

Scott Valley and the community of Callahan serve as the focal points of this 2018 survey, where the Scott River begins its course through a complex system of gulches and ridges. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Klamath National Forest, which covers much of the high ground from Smith Hill in the west to Hayden Ridge in the east. The map records the intersection of industrial history and hydrology, noting sites like the Limekiln and Black Mill alongside a dense network of mountain streams including Tiger Fork, Sugar Cr, and Wildcat Cr. Local landmarks such as French Flat and McKeen Divide illustrate the traditional naming conventions of the region, while the elevation changes are punctuated by prominent features like Craggy Peak and the high basins surrounding Lower Mill Lake.
