About this map

The Klamath River and Salmon River converge at Somes Bar, a location where river geography dictated the early routes and remote ranching outposts of the Siskiyou region. This 2012 survey details the complex network of Forest Service routes, such as Forest Rte 13N12 and Bull Pine Rd, that navigate the steep terrain toward landmarks like the Offield Mountain Lookout. The landscape is characterized by isolated valley floor developments like Irving Creek Ranch and Edie Ranch, surrounded by significant topographic rises including Irving Mountain and Bald Butte.

Along the waterways, specific points of interest include the notable Ishi Pishi Falls and various recreational sites like Camp Three Campground and Oak Bottom Campground. The presence of Sulphur Spring and several named meadows, such as Stanshaw Meadows and Trail Meadow, indicate the varied natural resources that have supported seasonal use and livestock in this high-elevation backcountry for generations.
