About this map

The Gardner Mine and isolated outposts like Madstone Cabin characterize this remote reach of Curry County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Chetco River. The terrain is marked by significant summits including Chetco Peak, Vulcan Peak, and Red Mountain, which overlook a network of alpine waters such as Chetco Lake, Vulcan Lake, and the aptly named Salamander Lake.

Logistical points such as Fresno Camp and Cottonwood Camp are connected by rugged routes like Nat For Dev Rd 260, while the southern portion of the sheet transitions into the drainage basin for the North Fork Smith River. This map captures a specialized mountain environment focused on resource extraction and forestry management, illustrating the complex hydrology of Box Canyon Creek and the Little Chetco River as they carve through the Siskiyou range.
