2018 Map of Orleans Mountain

About this map

Somes Mtn and Orleans Mtn dominate the vertical geography where the Klamath National Forest meets the Six Rivers National Forest. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major watercourses, notably the Klamath River and the Salmon River, which carve through the Siskiyou and Humboldt county lines. River bars such as Three Dollar Bar and Murderers Bar hint at a history of resource extraction and transit along these waterways. Human presence is sparse, concentrated near the river corridor and the winding path of Ishi Pishi Rd. High-altitude features like the Marble Mountains and the Salmon Mountains provide significant landmarks for land management and navigation within this protected wilderness. The intricate network of drainage creeks, including Ikes Cr and Boise Cr, illustrates the complex watershed system that feeds the regional river basins.
