2017 Map of Father Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this section of Curry County, where the steep Pacific Coast Range rises abruptly from the drainages of the Elk River and Panther Cr. This modern survey reveals a complex network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 5544 and Nat For Dev Rd 180, providing access to the dense timberlands and summits. Several prominent peaks, such as Father Mtn, Milbury Mtn, and Anvil Mtn, serve as high-ground anchors for the surrounding watershed. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous named waterways like Mussel Cr and Euchre Cr cutting through the terrain. Geographers can observe the intersection of traditional land survey townships, such as t33s r14w, with the managed wilderness. Notable landmarks like Salal Spring and Chismore Butte provide specific points of reference within the continuous forest canopy.
