About this map

The Klamath National Forest landscape near the northern border of California is defined here by a high-elevation network of ridges and basins. Settlement is concentrated along the transport corridors of the Butte Creek drainage, where the communities of Erickson and Penoyar sit near the base of prominent peaks like Deer Mtn and Little Deer Mtn. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and historical passage points, including Harlan Davis Canyon and the notable Devils Gate pass.

Resource-driven activity is evident through the named meadows and flats, such as Bull Mdws and Dead Steer Flat, which suggest a history of seasonal grazing. Water sources are vital but scattered in this volcanic terrain, represented by Pumpkinseed Lake and the intermittent flow of Horsethief Creek. Significant topographical features like Mt Hebron and Hebron Summit dominate the eastern portion of the survey, overlooking Butte Valley.
