About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through this river-canyon landscape, serving as the central artery for a string of riverside settlements including Johnsons, Pecwan, and Surgone. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote character of northern Humboldt County, where habitation is largely tied to the river's course and the winding roads like McKinnon Hill Rd and Notchko Flat Rd that navigate the steep drainages.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward high ridges marked by the Blue Creek Mtn Trl and the open expanse of Racehorse Prairie. Significant tributaries such as Pecwan Cr and Cappell Cr feed the main stem, defining a landscape of isolated reaches. Historically significant locations like Moore Ranch and Cappell Flat appear alongside small communities such as Mettah and Notchko, offering a detailed view of the infrastructure and land use in this timber and river country.
