1997 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest blankets this corner of Humboldt County, where high peaks like Onion Mountain and Bee Mountain overlook a complex system of drainage basins and isolated lakes. This late-twentieth-century revision illustrates a landscape defined by its hydrology and elevations, from the Klamath River in the southeast corner to the high Twin Lakes and Mosquito Lake in the north. The presence of the Wright Place (Site) near Bluff Creek provides a rare point of named habitation in an otherwise dense wilderness terrain. The map meticulously tracks the winding course of Big Foot Creek and Fish Creek, alongside the rugged ridge-running path of Cedar Camp Road. This era of the forest is captured through its network of springs and glades, including Mud Spring and the Red Cap Glade, showing the intricate details of California's coastal range drainage.
