2012 Map of McConaughy Gulch

About this map

Scott Valley dominates the western portion of this Siskiyou County landscape, where the meandering Scott River serves as the primary drainage for numerous gulches and creeks descending from the surrounding heights. The settlement pattern here is dictated by this topography, with legacy infrastructure like the Douglas School and various ranch roads situated along the valley floor. Waterways such as French Cr, Etna Cr, and Clark Cr feed into the river system, while the eastern terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including Indian Gulch and the prominent Mcconaughy Gulch. Transport routes like Eastside Rd and Mcconaughy Gulch Rd follow the natural contours, providing access to more remote landmarks such as Denny Point. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where family names are often preserved in the labeling of the gulches and spurs that mark the hillsides.
