About this map

Fort Jones and the fertile Scott Valley are the central focus of this mid-2010s survey, where the Scott River winds through a landscape defined by deep gulches and significant elevation changes. The town's grid, including Newton St and Mathews St, sits at the base of the Mineral Range, illustrating the historical relationship between the valley floor settlements and the surrounding mountain resources. Local transportation and utility are marked by the Scott Valley Airport and a network of canyon roads like Hamlin Gulch Rd and Hurds Gulch Rd.

To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Klamath National Forest, while the southwestern corner touches the edge of the Marble Mountains. Waterways such as Moffett Cr, Patterson Cr, and Kidder Cr drain the highlands into the valley. Genealogists and local historians can trace residential patterns along Cemetery Rd and Eastside Rd, or locate landmarks like Marlahan Pond and Chaparral Hill that have long defined this Siskiyou County region.
