2014 Map of Chetco Peak

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Curry County, where the dramatic peaks and headwaters of several major river systems converge. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Chetco Peak and Vulcan Peak, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Chetco River and its various tributaries including the S Fork Chetco River. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region's high lakes, including Chetco Lake, Vulcan Lake, and the remote Salamander Lake. The map captures the complex system of creeks like Box Canyon Cr and Brokenear Cr that feed the river network, showing the area's natural state within the national forest boundaries. For researchers of Oregon's wilderness history, it offers precise locations of physical landmarks like Moores Ridge and Red Mtn.
