About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Klamath National Forest dominates this topographic study, revealing a complex network of canyons and gulches defined by the headwaters of the Little Shasta River. In the southern reaches of the map, the Ball Mountain Little Shasta Rd provides access to the drainage near Dewey Gulch, while several other named gulches like Fogg Gulch and Hovey Gulch characterize the steep, dissected terrain.

A legacy of land use and navigation is visible in the network of mountain roads and named glades, such as Old Lady Glade and Chandler Glade. The presence of the Schmidt Mill site and Kuck Ditch Draw suggests historical industrial or agricultural activity in these remote Siskiyou County highlands. Water sources are critical features of this high-country environment, documented here through numerous named points including Poison Springs, Cold Spring, and the Steep Trail Spring located along the namesake Steep Trail.
