2012 Map of Hopkins Butte

About this map

Schnable Diggings stands as a point of historical industrial interest within this part of the Klamath Mountains, where the landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and prominent ridges. The area is heavily marked by the tributaries of Red Cap Cr and Leary Cr, which carve through the high terrain between Black Mountain and Hopkins Butte. Transport through this vertical environment is largely restricted to forest routes and established paths such as the Mill Creek Trl and the Hopkins Butte Trl. The presence of Tenmile Spring and LePerron Peak Spring highlights the importance of reliable water sources in these higher elevations. For those tracing the history of land use in Humboldt County, the map reveals the relationship between geological features like Packsaddle Ridge and the historic resource extraction sites that once operated in these more isolated reaches of the Pacific Northwest.
