2012 Map of Horse Creek

About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep valley through this Siskiyou County landscape, where small settlements like Horse Creek and Oakbar occupy the narrow riverside flats. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and gulches, including Buckhorn Ridge and Chase Gulch, which drop sharply toward the water. Historically significant sites for mining and industry are situated throughout the uplands, notably the K C Mine Camp and Jensen Mill. Remote structures such as Whites Cabin and the Maplesden Ranch hint at the rural ranching and residential patterns in the mountains north of the river. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Bald Mountain and Little Baldy, with the Collins Creek Baldy Lookout providing a strategic vantage point over the complex network of creeks, including Collins Cr and McKinney Cr, that drain the surrounding wilderness.
