About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest dominates this landscape, revealing a history of resource extraction and mountain navigation at the close of the 20th century. High elevations like Mount Peavine and Cedar Mountain are surrounded by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Silver Creek and Galice Creek. The map provides a detailed look at the region's mining heritage, marking numerous active and historical sites such as Bunker Hill Mine, Victor Mine, and Sugar Pine Mine.

Remote settlements and waypoints like Soldier Camp and Camp Howard are located along the winding mountain routes, including segments of the Hellgate Country byway. The terrain is defined by its water sources, from the East Fork Rum Creek in the north to the West Fork Silver Creek in the south. Notable landmarks for local travelers and geologists include Hansen Saddle, Peggler Butte, and Serpentine Spring, illustrating the complex topography of this rugged portion of the Siskiyou National Forest.
