About this map

Scott River winds through the southern portion of this Siskiyou County landscape, providing a focal point for the small settlement at Meamber Bridge. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by steep ridges and deep gulches, where the northern slopes of the Marble Mountains meet the Scott Bar Mountains. The intricate drainage network is clear, with waterways like Rattlesnake Cr and its various forks carving through the high country toward the river valley.

The map highlights several locations of interest for local history and genealogy, including Graveyard Gulch and Meamber Gulch. The road network, including the Scott Bar Stage road and Quartz Valley Rd, illustrates the continued importance of these routes in navigating the Klamath National Forest. From the heights of Russell Peak to the open spaces of Milk Ranch Meadows, the topography shows the complex geography of this Northern California region.
