About this map

The town of Etna serves as the primary hub in this Siskiyou County landscape, situated where the valley floor meets the eastern slopes of the Salmon Mountains. The town grid is well-defined by historic thoroughfares like Main St and Callahan Rd, with the Etna Cemetery located on the southern outskirts. West of the settlement, the terrain rises sharply into the Klamath National Forest, a region marked by high-altitude water features such as Wicks Lake and Ruffey Lakes.

Mountaineering and transit history are visible in the path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the high ridges near Etna Summit. The map also preserves the location of the Deacon Lee Place and remote landmarks like Whisky Butte and Crystal Creek Rock. This survey documents a complex drainage system where Etna Cr, Mill Cr, and Patterson Cr flow from the wilderness toward the inhabited valley, illustrating the critical connection between the mountain watershed and the community below.
