About this map

Sawyers Bar serves as the focal point of this Klamath Mountains survey, situated at the confluence of several steep drainages. The landscape is defined by its deep mining legacy, visible through features like the Dredge Tailings and the Bestville (Site). Further up the surrounding ridges, the Black Bear Mine, Celia Mine, and Hickey Mine mark the intensive extraction efforts that once drove the local economy.

The rugged terrain within the Klamath National Forest is traversed by established routes like the Cronan Gulch Trail and the Heiney Bar Trail, connecting isolated outposts such as Ahlgren Ranch and Burns Ranch. To the north, the Marble Mountain Wilderness preserves the high-altitude character of the range, including Crapo Mtn and the unique Neilson Gl. The map illustrates a complex network of named gulches and creeks feeding into the Salmon River, which is designated as a Salmon Wild and Scenic River.
