About this map

The Smith Wild and Scenic River defines the western reaches of this mountainous terrain at the boundary of Del Norte and Siskiyou Counties. This high-altitude landscape is primarily managed by the Six Rivers National Forest and Klamath National Forest, where steep ridgelines like the Kelsey Range and peaks such as Prescott Mtn dominate the topography. The map illustrates a wilderness characterized by isolated alpine water bodies, including Solitaire Lake and Harrington Lake, which sit tucked beneath high divides.

Evidence of historical access remains visible through the West Fork Clear Creek Trl, tracing the path of the W Fork Clear Cr through the dense forest. This area serves as a critical watershed for the Klamath River system, with the N Fork Dillon Cr and Jackass Cr draining the eastern slopes of the Siskiyou Mountains. The survey details the transition between these two massive national forests, providing a precise look at the remote landmarks like Baldy Peak and the Dillon Divide.
