2015 Map of Hurdygurdy Butte

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this northern California landscape, where the Middle Fork Smith River and its major tributaries, including the Siskiyou Fork and Patrick Creek, carve through the steep terrain. The drainage patterns reflect a complex network of creeks like Hurdygurdy Cr and Little Jones Cr that feed into the Smith River system. High elevations are marked by distinctive peaks such as Kelly Peak and Hurdygurdy Butte, along with several flat-topped summits like Table Mtn and Ship Mtn. Transportation through this wilderness is restricted to rugged routes like French Hill Rd, Bear Basin Rd, and a series of Forest Service roads. This 2015 data illustrates the preservation of a roadless interior, emphasizing the remote nature of the Blue Ridge and Fox Ridge areas during the early twenty-first century.
