About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through this Siskiyou County landscape, defining the local geography with a series of prominent river bars including Rattlesnake Bar, Lone Pine Bar, and Ti Bar. The settlement of Cottage Grove sits at the northeastern bend of the river, while the Kennedy Homestead is located to the southeast, representing the scattered domestic presence in this heavily forested terrain. Access is dictated by the river and numerous Forest Service routes that navigate the steep slopes toward landmarks like Pony Peak and Dillon Mountain.

Recreational and communication history is visible through features like the Dillon Creek Campground and the curious Iron Phone label near Kennedy Cr. The map details a complex watershed system where tributaries such as Elliott Cr and Dillon Cr feed the Klamath, creating a network of canyons and gulches like Dark Canyon and Bear Gulch. This 2012 data shows how forest management and the river's course continue to shape the footprint of human habitation and travel in Northern California.
