1997 Map of Shelly Creek Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Smith River and its complex network of forks dominate this remote corner of Northern California, where the Smith River National Recreation Area meets the Siskiyou National Forest. Historically, this landscape was defined by its access routes and mineral potential. The Old Gasquet Toll Road and the Wimer Road trace the difficult paths taken by early travelers across the state line between Oregon and California. Mining activity is evident through the presence of the Holiday Mine and various prospects scattered across the high terrain of Shelly Creek Ridge. Small settlements and landmarks like Baker Flat, Idlewild, and the Monumental (Site) provide evidence of human presence in the river valleys, while Washington Peak and High Dome anchor the surrounding Siskiyou Mountains.
