About this map

The South Fork Smith River carves a deep path through this section of the Six Rivers National Forest in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by its steep elevation changes, ranging from the depths of Haydens Gulch to the high points of Little Rattlesnake Mountain and Cant Hook Mtn. Human activity is concentrated along the riverbanks and ridges, evidenced by isolated outposts like Stevens Ranch and various resource extraction sites including the China Mine and several Borrow Pit locations.

Logistics in this wilderness rely on the winding Rattlesnake Road and distinctive river crossings like the Hurdygurdy Bridge. The map captures a moment of forest management and recreation, showing the Big Flat Forest Service Sta and nearby Big Flat Campground. Smaller landmarks like Soldier Well, Pigeon Roost Spring, and Rattlesnake Lake offer specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use and back-country navigation in this portion of Del Norte County.
