About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this northern California landscape, defined by a complex drainage system feeding the Middle Fork Smith River. High-elevation points like Hurdygurdy Butte and Kelly Peak anchor the terrain, while the winding course of Hurdygurdy Cr and Little Jones Cr illustrate the watershed's intricate topography. This 2018 survey emphasizes the extensive network of forest access routes, including French Hill Rd and Bear Basin Rd, which provide passage through the dense timberland.

Notable landmarks such as Devils Gap and Table Mtn provide essential orientation in this high-relief environment. To the south, Ship Mtn and the prominent Blue Ridge stand as significant physical barriers. The presence of Elk Lake and numerous tributary streams like Patrick Creek and Jones Cr highlight the region's hydrologic importance within the Klamath Mountain range. This map serves as a contemporary record of forest management boundaries and natural features in a relatively undeveloped corridor of Del Norte County.
