About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the Klamath National Forest in this 2001 revision of the Siskiyou County landscape. The mapping reveals a river-centered economy and geography, defined by numerous gravel bars like Rattlesnake Bar, Persido Bar, and Eyese Bar that speak to the region's alluvial history. Small, isolated outposts of human activity are documented, including the Kennedy Homestead and the community at Cottage Grove near the river's edge.

Rising above the waterway are the prominent heights of Dillon Mountain and Pony Peak, connected by a network of drainage systems such as Dillon Creek and Clear Creek. The inclusion of the Iron Phone landmark and the Cedar Camp site provides specific points of interest for those tracing the history of Forest Service communication and early mountain encampments. This survey serves as a detailed record of the wilderness boundary, following the Klamath Wild and Scenic River Boundary through this steep, drainage-cut terrain.
