2018 Map of Duzel Rock

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this landscape in Siskiyou County, where steep drainage patterns and high ridges define the territory south of the Oregon border. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and gulches that feed into Moffett Cr and Cottonwood Cr, illustrating how the terrain dictated the placement of early forest service and ranching roads. Notable landmarks like the prominent Duzel Rock and the long spine of Scarface Ridge provide clear navigation points within the dense forest. The nomenclature found in the gulches, such as Moonshine Gulch, Whiskey Gulch, and Beef Corral Gulch, offers a linguistic link to the area's practical and perhaps more clandestine human history. This 2018 survey detail provides modern clarity on a rugged portion of the California backcountry, including the high peaks of Antelope Mtn and Piney Mtn.
