About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the northern reaches of the Klamath National Forest in this survey of the Siskiyou mountains. Near the western edge, the settlement of Happy Camp serves as a gateway to the high ridgelines, while Fort Goff is situated further east along the riverbank. This territory is defined by its verticality, with prominent landmarks such as Slater Butte and China Peak rising above the drainages.

Evidence of the region's geography is found in the various river bars and gulches, including Woods Bar and Ottley Gulch. The transport and survival patterns of the era are visible in the winding routes of Thompson Ridge and the China Point Rd, which navigate the steep transition from the river valley to the heights of Evans Mtn and the northern edge of the Marble Mountains. Numerous tributaries, including Elk Cr and China Cr, flow into the primary river system, marking the complex drainage basin of the Klamath.
