2015 Map of Cecilville

About this map

The settlement of Cecilville serves as the focal point for this 2015 study of the rugged Salmon River country within the Klamath National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainages of the South Fork Salmon River, where numerous named gulches and creeks such as Matthews Cr, French Cr, and Plummer Cr converge. Historic activity in the region is evidenced by named riverside locations like Cody Bar and the distinctive Limestone Bluffs situated just west of the main settlement. Topographical landmarks define the horizon, including High Point, Lafayette Point, and the prominent Murphy Rock. The map traces a network of remote forest routes, including the King Solomon and Saint Clair roads, illustrating the modern access points to this historically isolated part of Siskiyou County.
