2020 Map of Father Mountain

About this map

Elk Wild and Scenic River carves a winding path through the heart of the Siskiyou National Forest, serving as the primary drainage for a complex network of tributaries including Sunshine Creek, State Creek, and Platinum Creek. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape defined by prominent peaks and ridges, from Father Mountain at the center to Pearse Peak and Purple Mountain in the northwest. To the south, the terrain rises toward Rocky Peak and Chismore Butte. While largely primitive, the map documents limited human imprints such as Highlands Drive and the water source at Salal Spring. The drainage patterns of Euchre Creek and the various forks of Panther Creek illustrate the high-relief topography of this portion of Curry County.
