About this map

Somes Bar sits at the southern edge of this survey where the rugged slopes of the Salmon Mountains and the Marble Mountains converge. The landscape is defined by the protected waters of the Klamath Wild and Scenic River, which winds through the Klamath National Forest. This terrain is marked by high alpine clearings such as Haypress Meadows, Stanshaw Meadows, and Trail Meadow, suggesting a long history of seasonal movement through the high country.

Transportation through these steep canyons relies on landmarks like Offield Saddle and river access points such as Three Dollar Bar and Sandy Bar. The complex drainage network includes numerous named tributaries like Irving Gates Creek and Steinacher Cr, which have carved out ridges including Steinacher Ridge. The presence of Sulphur Spring and peaks like Black Mtn and Merrill Mtn reflect the varied geology of this Siskiyou County wilderness.
