About this map

The settlement of Callahan sits at the confluence of the South Fork Scott River and the East Fork Scott River, serving as a central point for this high-altitude landscape. The map reveals a cluster of burial sites nearby, including the Callahan Protestant Cem, Callahan Catholic Cem, and Callahan Hayden Cem, which highlight the area's established community history. Much of the surrounding territory is managed as part of the Klamath National Forest, rising to significant heights at Craggy Peak and along the McKeen Divide.

To the south, the Trinity Alps Wilderness protects the headwaters of several streams, including Fox Creek and Blue Jay Creek. The map details numerous named drainages such as Ankeny Gulch and Osterried Gulch, illustrating how the terrain of the Scott Mountains directs the flow of water into the Scott River valley. This topography defines the remote character of the region and its network of mountain roads.
