About this map

Hilt sits in the northeast corner of this Siskiyou County landscape, a community defined by its proximity to the Klamath National Forest and the Rogue River Natl Forest. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of gulches and creeks, including Rocky Point Gulch, Devils Gulch, and Woodchopper Gulch, names that suggest a history of prospecting and timber harvesting. High points like Cottonwood Peak and Bullion Mtn anchor the topography, while landmarks such as Shaft Rock offer specific navigational reference points for those exploring the backcountry.

Water sources are remarkably well-documented here, featuring unique labels like the Fountain of Youth Spring and Soda Spring. The presence of Trestle Rd and Ditch Creek Rd points to the area's development through industrial and irrigation infrastructure. This modern survey from the U.S. Geological Survey details the complex drainage patterns of Cottonwood Cr and Hungry Cr, providing an essential view of the watershed and forest boundary lines.
