About this map

The Middle Fork Smith River carves through this northern California landscape, defining the corridor where the settlement of Gasquet and the Gasquet Cem are located. This region within the Six Rivers National Forest is characterized by high ridges like Elk Camp Ridge and Upper Coon Mtn, separated by deep drainages such as Stony Cr and Craigs Cr.

Historical transportation routes and localized flats offer evidence of the area's development, including the Old Gasquet Toll Rd and the Tyson Mine Rd. Scattered alluvial benches and clearings, such as Pappas Flat, Humboldt Flat, and Haines Flat, provide rare level ground in the steep terrain. The presence of the North Fork Smith River junction and landmarks like Danger Point highlight the dramatic river-cut geography that has historically shaped access to these mountain communities.
