About this map

Etna anchors the northeastern corner of this Siskiyou County landscape, where the grid of the town center transitions into the deep canyons and high ridges of the Klamath National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of significant peaks and gaps, including Etna Mtn, Whisky Butte, and Ruffey Gap. Water systems are central to the terrain here, from the northern Johnson Creek Falls to the high-elevation Ruffey Lakes and Wicks Lake tucked near the ridges of the Marble Mountains and Salmon Mountains.

High-altitude landmarks such as Etna Summit and Swampy John suggest a region shaped by early forest service activities and pioneer routes. The path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southern high country, crossing near Hockaday Springs and the headwaters of Ruffey Cr. This survey details the complex junction where the agricultural Scott Valley meets the steep, timbered wilderness of northern California.
