2012 Map of Copco

About this map

Copco Lake, an impoundment of the Klamath River, dominates this mountainous landscape in northern Siskiyou County. The small community of Copco sits at the river's entry to the reservoir, near the Fall Creek Fish Hatchery and the base of Sloan Butte. The terrain is marked by a network of steep canyons and timbered heights, including Daggett Mountain and Bloomingcamp Peak. Historically significant watering points and small-scale settlements are scattered throughout the backcountry, such as Frame Mill Spring, Soda Spring, and the JJJ Ranch. Higher elevations are monitored from the Lakeview Lookout, while roads like the Ager-Beswick Rd provide access to the remote interior. The presence of features like Surveyors Glade and Bogus Burn suggests a landscape defined by its forestry history and rugged volcanic geography north of the Klamath Rim.
