2012 Map of Orleans Mountain

About this map

Orleans Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate the terrain where the Klamath River meets the winding Salmon River. This landscape is defined by the convergence of steep drainages and gravel bars, notably Three Dollar Bar and Murderers Bar along the Salmon River corridor. The map highlights the high-elevation Orleans Mountain Lookout, which overlooks a network of creeks like Pearch Cr and Boise Cr that carve through the Siskiyou Mountains. Development is sparse and concentrated along the riverbanks, represented by Red Cap Ranch and named flats such as Butler Flat. The presence of Antenna Ridge and Monte Creek Rd suggests a modern layer of utility and access superimposed on this traditionally secluded terrain, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and topographic relief of the region in the early 21st century.
