About this map

Red Rock Lakes and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Siskiyou County are defined by a complex network of seasonal water sources and volcanic landmarks. This 2021 survey documents the transition between the Klamath National Forest and open ranchlands, where cattle management is evidenced by the Stock Trail Spring. The landscape is punctuated by prominent elevations including Mahogany Mtn, Sheep Mtn, and the distinctive Big Tableland.

Hydrological features such as Souza Lake and Deyarmie Lake are set against a backdrop of steep relief, including Padgetts Bluff and Coyote Ridge. The transportation network is built around remote access routes like Red Rock Rd and Willow Creek and Red Rock Rd, which follow the natural contours of the Red Rock Valley. The map's detailed topography illustrates the drainage patterns of Willow Cr and several named springs, providing an essential record of water rights and land use in this specific part of Northern California.
