About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the northern California landscape, serving as the central artery for this remote portion of Siskiyou County. The settlement of Clear Creek sits near the confluence of its namesake stream and the main river, a primary point of human activity along Highway 96. The river's influence is evident in the named riverside features like Wingate Bar, Attebery Bar, and the historical crossing at Ferry Point.

Upland from the water, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Baldy Mountain Ridge and Titus Gap. The map documents a network of Forest Service roads branching off into the gulches and hollows, including Gasquet Gulch and Coon Hollow. Notable local landmarks like the Thornton Memorial Bridge and the Tom Davis Ranch provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of this river-and-forest economy.
