2018 Map of Shelly Creek Ridge

About this map

Baker Flat and the small settlement at Patrick Creek are centers of activity in this montane landscape along the California and Oregon border. The terrain is defined by the sharp divide between the Siskiyou National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest, where the headwaters of the Middle Fork Smith River and W Fork Illinois River originate. Significant local landmarks include Washington Peak and the high point at High Dome, with topographic relief that includes dramatic features like Dead Horse Gulch and Dollar Bend. Historical travel through these drainages is marked by the Old Gasquet Toll Rd, which traces a path through the timbered ridges. Other notable geographic points like Shelly Creek Ridge and Monkey Creek Ridge provide an overview of the dense network of tributaries including Shelly Cr and Monkey Cr.
