About this map

High Divide and Low Divide crest through the mountainous landscape along the border of Oregon and California in this 2015 study. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages feeding into larger systems, including the S Fork Winchuck River to the north and the North Fork Smith River to the southeast. These steep ridges separate the watersheds of several named tributaries such as Rowdy Creek, Hardscrabble Creek, and Hutsinpillar Creek.

Public lands dominate the area, with the boundary between Siskiyou National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest bisecting the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to rugged access routes like Rowdy Creek Road and Morrison Creek Road, which provide entry for land management and recreation. The map also identifies specific water sources like Wimer Spring and Still Creek, essential landmarks in this heavily forested environment.
