2022 Map of Russell Peak

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this Siskiyou County landscape, where the Scott River carves through the southwest corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by deep drainages and ridges, from Walla Walla Ridge in the east to the Marble Mountains rising at the southwestern edge. This 2022 survey captures the transition between the high Scott Bar Mountains and the lower Quartz Valley. The map reveals a complex network of forest access roads, such as Tyler Gulch Rd and Graveyard Gulch Rd, which navigate the steep geography. Named features like Milk-Ranch Meadows and Chipmunk Spring suggest the area's historical reliance on seasonal water sources and mountain grazing. The northern reaches are heavily dissected by numerous creeks, including the S Fork Mill Cr and Singleton Cr, illustrating the rugged hydrology that defines this portion of Northern California.
