1998 Map of Chetco Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness dominate this high-elevation terrain, where the headwaters of the Chetco River and the North Fork Smith River carve through the mountains. This late-twentieth-century landscape is defined by its industrial and residential remnants, including the Gardner Mine and several unnamed Mine and Prospect workings near Moores Ridge. The map identifies historical occupation sites such as Madstone Cabin, Fresno Camp, and Brokenkot Camp, offering evidence of the area's history of backcountry habitation and resource extraction. Prominent summits like Chetco Peak, Vulcan Peak, and Bailey Mountain provide a dramatic backdrop to high mountain waters including Vulcan Lake, Chetco Lake, and Salamander Lake. The isolation of the region is underscored by the lack of developed roads, with movement dictated by the natural corridors of Box Canyon and the surrounding ridgelines.
