About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this section of the Salmon Mountains, where a dense network of watercourses and ridges defines the terrain. The hydrological landscape is anchored by the S Fork Salmon River and its various tributaries, including Taylor Cr and the E Fork S Fork Salmon River. These waters are fed by high-elevation sources such as Campbell Spring and Maple Spring, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Siskiyou region.

Backcountry access is marked by historical routes and trails, such as the Grasshopper-Picayune and Crawford Trl, which navigate the steep elevations between Grouse Point and the curiously named I-Am-Up Ridge. Numerous named drainages, including Gooey Gulch, Specimen Gulch, and Gibson Gulch, suggest a legacy of local naming traditions likely tied to early prospecting or landmark identification. The presence of Haypress Meadow in the southeast provides a rare level opening amidst the surrounding peaks.
