2012 Map of Russell Peak

About this map

ScottBar Mountains dominate this high-relief landscape where the Scott River cuts through the southern reaches, joined by tributaries such as Meamber Cr and Shackleford Cr. The settlement patterns here are dictated by the rugged gulches and ridges, with named features like Baker Cabin and Baker Flat situated in the northeast. The presence of Graveyard Gulch and Meamber Bridge suggests long-standing local landmarks tied to early land use and family names. In the higher elevations, Milk Ranch Meadows and Walla Walla Ridge provide distinct geographical markers among a network of Forest Service roads, including Mill Creek Rd and Scott Bar Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote character of northern California, where geographic features like Russell Peak and numerous gulches—such as Titcomb Gulch and Franklin Gulch—define the area's intricate topography.
