About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Siskiyou County, where the topography is defined by the high elevations of Gazelle Mtn and the distinct volcanic form of Scott Crater. The map reveals a high-country economy focused on seasonal grazing and small-scale resource extraction, indicated by several scattered corral sites and mining prospect locations. Transportation through this complex terrain follows the natural drainages of Noyes Valley and the East Fork Scott River.

Remote outposts like Pedro Cabin and Mountain House suggest a history of forestry or ranching habitation. The drainage network is particularly dense, with Moffet Creek and Duzel Creek carving through gulches that have likely served as historic corridors for movement between the higher peaks and the valley floors. A Floodgate and the Rail Trail reflect the infrastructure required to manage water and timber in this environment.
