About this map

The McCloud River defines the southern edge of this Siskiyou County landscape, where the small settlements of Algoma and Kinyon sit along the rail corridor. The terrain north of the river is characterized by expansive flats and timbered slopes, including Elk Flat and Coonrod Flat. A complex network of forest routes, such as Military Rd and Bigelow Rd, provides access to several named camps and clearings like Nitwit Camp and Bear Wallow.

One of the most distinct hydrological features is the Ash Creek Sink, where Ash Cr terminates in a low basin rather than reaching the river. Higher elevations rise to the east at Black Fox Mountain, which overlooks numerous drainage basins including Edson Cr and Trout Cr. This map documents a region heavily utilized for forestry and transit, evidenced by the named access roads and several small stations like Swobe that once served the local industrial infrastructure.
