1997 Map of Prescott Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou Wilderness and the Smith River National Recreation Area dominate this section of the Klamath Mountains during the late 1990s. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Prescott Mountain and Stevens Mountain, which serve as a backdrop for the remote Bear Wallows Shelter and Willis Hole. The transition between the Six Rivers National Forest and Klamath National Forest is marked by the Dillon Divide, a topographic boundary where the waters of the South Fork Smith River and Dillon Creek are partitioned. This map records the road network including the Gasquet Happy Camp Road and the Happy Camp Ukonom Road, providing a snapshot of the infrastructure connecting these wild northern California reaches before the 21st century.
