1984 Map of Duzel Rock

About this map

Duzel Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this Siskiyou County landscape, overlooking a complex drainage network within the Klamath National Forest. The 1980s terrain is characterized by deep ravines and gulches that feed into major waterways like Moffett Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The nomenclature of the area, featuring names such as Whiskey Gulch, Moonshine Gulch, and Portuguese Gulch, hints at the colorful local history of prospectors and early settlers who worked these hills. Evidence of resource extraction and land use is found in the scattered Prospects and Borrow Pits documented across the terrain. From the heights of Bald Hill and Antelope Mtn, the map traces the intricate paths of Sissel Gulch and East Ridge Gulch, illustrating the topographical challenges faced by those traversing this part of Northern California.
