About this map

Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest dominate this Siskiyou County landscape, where the volcanic topography of the southern Cascades is defined by prominent peaks and ridges. The terrain rises sharply to Garner Mtn and Garner Butte, giving way to the expansive level ground of Tamarack Flat. This high-elevation wilderness is networked with forest roads, including the Goosenest Mc Cloud route, which provides access to remote hydrologic features like Baird Spring and Tamarack Lake.

The presence of numerous "PB" or protracted block boundaries—such as PB 38 and PB 44—indicates areas where the standard Public Land Survey System was never fully surveyed on the ground due to the difficult nature of landmarks like Typhoon Mesa and Fisk Ridge. These unsurveyed tracts highlight the isolation and physical complexity of the ridge-and-mesa systems that characterize this portion of Northern California.
