2018 Map of McKinley Mountain

About this map

The Klamath River carves through the heart of the Klamath National Forest in this survey of northern California. The settlement of Walker serves as a focal point along the river's path, connected by the Walker Bridge and surrounded by small riparian flats such as Eagles Nest Bar and Round Bar. This rugged portion of Siskiyou County is defined by its dramatic relief, where deep drainages like Lashes Gulch and Miller Gulch descend from high peaks including Deadwood Baldy Peak and McKinley Mtn. The map documents a network of forest roads and trails, such as the Little Grouse Tie and Barkhouse Loop, which provide access to the timbered slopes and remote coves. This modern record captures the enduring geography of the Klamath National Forest, highlighting the narrow balance between the river-level settlements and the surrounding high-altitude wilderness.
