1997 Map of Lonesome Ridge

About this map

Lonesome Ridge bisects this remote landscape at the meeting point of Del Norte, Siskiyou, and Humboldt counties. Compiled from 1970s topography and updated with 1990s imagery, the map documents a rugged wilderness dominated by the Siskiyou Wilderness and Six Rivers National Forest. Small pockets of human presence appear at Laird Meadow and Loose Camp, while a Quarry and the Go-Road indicate the industrial and infrastructural reach into these high elevations. The drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, showing the East Fork Blue Creek and Bluff Creek systems carving through the terrain. High-altitude water bodies like Onion Lake, Deer Lick Lake, and Siskiyou Pond provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical geography of this tri-county border region.
