About this map

The Scott River carves a deep path through northern Siskiyou County, defining the corridor between the Marble Mountains and the Scott Bar Mountains. The settlement at Scott Bar serves as a focal point for the region, complete with a Forest Service Sta and a Historical Marker noting the area's significance. This landscape is a working mountain environment, where resource extraction and recreation coexist within the Klamath National Forest.

Evidence of the area's prospecting history is visible through a scattered Mine, Quarry, and Prospect sites along the river's winding course. Riverside life is centered around several flats and clearings, including Gold Flat and Beauty Flat. Recreational access is highlighted by numerous campsites such as Indian Scotty Campground, Spring Flat Campground, and the Jones Beach Picnic Area, all situated along the river's edge for easy access.
