2001 Map of Somes Bar

About this map

Somes Bar serves as the focal point of this northern California terrain, situated at the confluence where the Salmon River meets the Klamath Wild And Scenic River. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river corridors and the high peaks of the Klamath National Forest, including Offield Mtn and Merrill Mtn. Along the water, the map reveals specific cultural and logistical sites such as the Junction Sch and the Oak Bottom Admin Site And Fire Station. The presence of Three Dollar Bar and Murderers Bar along the riverbanks hints at the region's mining and river-travel history, while the Haypress Trail winds through high-elevation meadows like Haypress Meadows and Halfmoon Meadow within the Marble Mountain Wilderness. This survey documents a balance of wild river systems and managed forest lands, capturing the infrastructure of the Six Rivers Nat For and the remote outpost at Wooley Camp.
