About this map

South Fork Smith River carves through this northern California landscape, anchored by the high peaks of Cant Hook Mtn and Little Rattlesnake Mountain. In the early 1980s, this area of the Six Rivers National Forest supported a mix of resource extraction and backcountry recreation, evidenced by the China Mine near Hurdygurdy Bridge and the Big Flat Campground along the river.

Smaller settlements and family-named landmarks like Stevens Ranch and Paradise Flat appear alongside critical water sources such as Soldier Well and Pigeon Roost Spring. The map documents a network of forest service infrastructure, including the Big Flat Forest Service Sta, and follows the winding courses of Hurdygurdy Creek and Jones Creek as they drain into the main river channel. Terrain features like Rattlesnake Slide and Fox Ridge provide a detailed look at the complex topography of Del Norte County during this period.
