2012 Map of Dead Horse Summit

About this map

Dead Horse Summit serves as the topographic high point for this section of Northern California, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the headwaters of the McCloud River and Kosk Cr. The small settlement of Curtis sits near the eastern edge, while forest camps such as Walking Bear Camp indicate the seasonal and recreational use of this wooded terrain. A complex network of US Forest Service roads, including Summit Lake Rd and Dead Horse Canyon Rd, navigates the transition between peaks and meadows.
