About this map

Etna sits as the primary settlement in this northern California landscape, where the valley floor meets the steep ascent of the Salmon Mountains. The map highlights the town's local geography, including the Po and roads like Lovers Ln and Sawyers Bar Rd that lead into the high country. As the terrain rises to the west, numerous drainages such as Whisky Cr and Etna Cr carve through the slopes, eventually reaching heights like Etna Mountain and Etna Summit.

High-altitude water features are prevalent, including Ruffey Lakes, Wicks Lake, and Meeks Meadow Lake at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The naming of landmarks like Deacon Lee Place and Hughes Hill suggests a legacy of early settlement and land use. Natural points of interest such as Johnson Creek Falls and the geological prominence of Crystal Creek Rock further characterize this transition from agricultural valley to protected wilderness peaks.
