2020 Map of Soda Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou Mountains terrain dominates this 2020 study of the borderlands where Oregon meets California. High-elevation landmarks such as Hobart Peak and Soda Mtn overlook a complex network of ridgelines and water sources, including the Parsnip Lakes and the Howard Prairie Canal. The map traces the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the western side of the quadrangle, passing over Hobart Bluff and near Boccard Point. Settlement is concentrated in the northeast at Lincoln and Mountain View, where infrastructure like the Pinehurst State Airport and Rosebud Helipond serve this remote montane region. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems like Mill Cr and Dutch Oven Cr, reflecting the topographic character of the southern Cascades-Siskiyou junction at the turn of the 21st century.
