2018 Map of Juniper Flat

About this map

Juniper Flat serves as a focal point for this survey of the high desert and forest interface in Siskiyou County. The landscape is defined by the transition between the Klamath National Forest and the Shasta National Forest, where volcanic features like Yellow Butte and the Haystack rise above the alluvial plains. Water is a defining seasonal element here, with Whitney Cr and Graham Cr cutting through the terrain. The map details a complex network of rural and forest service routes, from the long-distance 99-97 Cutoff and Hwy A12 to residential clusters like those found along Juniper Terrace. For those studying the northern California backcountry, the proximity of the rail-side settlement at Bolam and features like Barnum Cave provide specific points of interest within this high-elevation environment.
