About this map

Steptoe Valley forms the western boundary of this high-altitude landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the Schell Creek Range. This 2018 survey captures a complex network of forest development roads and specialized pathways such as the Birds Beak Loop and the Ditch Creek Trail, which navigate the steep drainage systems of Kalamazoo Cr and Fitzhugh Cr. The map is characterized by its numerous seasonal and perennial water sources, including the creatively named Ice Cream Springs and Oil Springs, which have long served as vital landmarks in this arid environment.

At the center of the quadrant, Kalamazoo Summit stands as a primary topographical feature within the Humboldt National Forest. Traces of earlier infrastructure like Old Hwy 93 sit in contrast with more modern designations like Natl Forest Develop Road 561 Rd, documenting the evolution of access into the Kinsey Canyon and its surrounding peaks. The map also records several specific points of interest labeled as Fera Ninety Four and Fera One Hundred Four, indicating localized areas of interest within the forest management zones.
