About this map

Klamath National Forest terrain dominates this survey of the Klamath River corridor in Siskiyou County. The small settlements of Horse Creek and Oak Bar serve as anchors along the riverbanks, where the landscape is marked by a complex network of forest roads and historical transport routes like the Scott Bar Stage. Resource extraction and land management patterns are evident through features such as the KC Mine and the managed clearings at Cherry Flat.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Klamath River winding through the center, joined by numerous drainages including McKinney Cr and French Gulch. The map preserves local nomenclature for the surrounding peaks and ridgelines, from Little Baldy and Bald Mtn to Buckhorn Ridge. These labels, combined with specific locations like the McKinney Crossing, provide a detailed record of how this portion of northern California has been navigated and utilized.
