About this map

Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest meet in this 2018 survey of high-elevation Siskiyou County. The landscape is defined by a series of volcanic peaks and ridges, including Rainbow Mtn, Dry Creek Peak, and Watakma Butte. These landforms dictate the drainage patterns of Antelope Creek and Trout Cr, which flow through heavily timbered sections of the national forests.

Evidence of human activity is primarily found in the network of Forest Service roads, such as Stevens Pass Rd and Forest Rte 13. The small settlement of Elk Flat sits in the southwest, while important water sources for backcountry navigation are marked at Cramer Spring and Dry Creek Spring. High-altitude lakes like Hemlock Lake and Rainbow Lake are prominent landmarks within the protected forest boundaries.
