About this map

Scott Mountains and the dramatic ridgelines of The Eddys anchor this high-altitude landscape in the late 1990s. The terrain is defined by its industrial history and conservation status, spanning the Shasta Trinity National Forests and Klamath National Forest. Evidence of historical extraction is prominent, with numerous Prospect sites and the established Richter Mine and Dewey Mine situated near South Fork.

Water resources are abundant, ranging from the prominent Crater Lake and West Parks Lakes to the thermal activity at Stewart Springs. In the southwest, the Houston Cabin sits near the headwaters of Houston Creek, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking local mountain history. The presence of the Tamarack Flat Trail highlights the area's transition toward recreational management by the Forest Service during this period.
