2024 Map of Mount Butler

About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest dominates this coastal mountain landscape, where the Sixes River and its numerous tributaries like Edson Creek and Elephant Rock Creek carve through the steep terrain. This 2024 topographic survey reveals a rugged wilderness character, defined by the protected expanse of the Grassy Knob Wilderness and the Elk Wild and Scenic River corridor in the south. Unlike many coastal regions, this area shows minimal modern development, with landmarks such as Plum Trees and the Calf Ranch Prairie hinting at historical land use patterns. Notable elevations like Edson Butte, China Peak, and Mount Butler provide a clear view of the complex drainage network that feeds the regional river systems. The inclusion of the Nat For Dev Rd 5105 and Co Hwy 184 provides the primary access points into this dense forest environment.
