2015 Map of Horse Creek

About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep valley through the Klamath National Forest, serving as the central artery for the small riverside settlements of Oak Bar and Horse Creek. This survey captures the distinct landscape of Northern California, where high peaks like Little Baldy and Bald Mtn overlook a complex network of steep gulches and ridges. The human footprint here is defined by resource extraction and rugged access, evidenced by Tailings near the riverbanks and a web of named forest routes such as Hog Maple and the Jeep Doggett Tie. Local geography is marked by family-named landmarks and watercourses, including Buckhorn Ridge and Doggett Cr, which flow toward the Klamath from the surrounding mountains. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the region, from the McKinney Crossing to the high-elevation reaches of the Siskiyou Summit.
