2017 Map of Quail Prairie Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest lands dominate this territory in the Klamath Mountains, where the drainage of the Chetco River and its S Fork Chetco River creates a deeply dissected landscape of ridges and peaks. Distinctive high-elevation landmarks include Quail Prairie Mtn and the evocatively named Swede Heaven. The map details an extensive network of Forest Service infrastructure, including Red Mountain Rd and various routes like Nat For Dev Rd 1909, which provide access to remote features such as Red Mountain Prairie and Pollywog Butte. The presence of several "PB" or public land protractions indicates areas of complex surveying history. Along the waterways, specific points of interest like the Submarine Hole on Boulder Cr and the sharp rise of Devils Backbone highlight the specialized local naming of this backcountry terrain.
