2012 Map of China Mountain

About this map

China Mountain dominates this Siskiyou County landscape, where high-elevation hydrology feeds the headwaters of numerous drainages. The area is defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial waters, including Crater Lake and West Park Lakes, which give rise to W Fork Parks Cr and Parks Cr. Evidence of early access and industry remains visible through the naming of Dewey Mine Rd and the presence of Houston Cabin near the banks of Houston Cr. These features, alongside the prominent Mallethead Rock, speak to a history of mountain transit and localized resource extraction.
