2022 Map of High Plateau Mountain

About this map

The North Fork Smith Wild and Scenic River carves through this protected landscape at the border of California and Oregon, illustrating the deep drainages characteristic of the Klamath Mountains. Within the Six Rivers National Forest and Siskiyou National Forest, the map reveals a rugged network of ridges and canyons, including the steep Peridotite Canyon. The presence of the Holiday Mine Road in the northeast and Low Divide Road in the northwest suggests a history of resource extraction and transit through these high elevations. Notable peaks like High Plateau Mtn and Gasquet Mtn anchor the terrain, while numerous tributaries such as Wimer Cr and Fall Cr feed into the protected river system, highlighting the complex hydrology of this mountainous interior.
