About this map

Sawyers Bar and the nearby settlement of Bestville anchor this map of the North Fork Salmon River valley within the Klamath National Forest. The landscape is defined by steep drainages and gold-mining-era landmarks along the river corridor, including China Point and Heiney Bar. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the locations of the Sawyers Bar Cem and the Sawyers Bar Catholic Cem.

High-elevation features like the Marble Mountains and Crapo Mtn tower over the valley, while a network of historic routes such as the Garden Gulch Trl and Little North Fork Trl navigate the complex topography. The naming of numerous gulches, from Titmouse Gulch to Jackass Gulch, reflects the early prospectors who worked these tributaries before the area was designated as part of the Klamath Wild and Scenic River system.
