2022 Map of Deadman Point

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this section of Siskiyou County, where steep drainage networks define the high-elevation landscape. The topography is anchored by prominent landforms such as Deadman Point, Spees Peak, and Bare Mtn, which overlook a complex system of ridges and deep-cut watercourses. Parallel ridges, including Mill Creek Ridge, East Fork Ridge, and Thompson Ridge, structure the north-south movement of the land, while numerous gulches like Silver Gulch, Two Bit Gulch, and Swearingen Gulch feed into larger arteries like Indian Cr and Mill Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates a terrain primarily shaped by natural hydrology rather than human settlement, where named water sources like Cedar Spring represent critical landmarks. The dense naming of minor tributaries, from Rhodonite Cr to Coop Run, highlights the complex watershed management within this federal forest area near the California-Oregon border.
