2001 Map of Deadman Point

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this topographic study of the Siskiyou Mountains, straddling the high border where Oregon meets California. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation gains between Indian Creek and prominent heights such as Speas Peak and Bare Mountain. A distinct history of resource extraction is evident in the cluster of mining operations located in the southern half of the quadrangle, including the Ruby Mine, Classic H Mine, and Mile Mine. The winding Grayback Road serves as the primary artery through this complex terrain, following the contours of the Klamath Ridge and Thompson Ridge. Numerous gulches, such as Wagner Gulch and Kemper Gulch, carve through the ridges, feeding into the East Fork and eventually toward the South Fork Indian Creek.
