About this map

Summit Valley serves as a central high-elevation feature in this Del Norte County landscape, where the Summit Valley Shelter provides a fixed landmark for those navigating the high country. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including Peak Eight, Doctor Rock, and Lems Ridge. This 2012 survey illustrates a remote wilderness defined by its complex drainage systems, such as the Crescent City Fork and Blue Cr, which feed into the larger regional watershed.

A network of Forest Service routes, including the noted G O Rd and 15n01, provides the primary access into these mountain heights. The map documents vital water sources in the dry high-elevation environment, specifically Wooley Bear Spring and Cedar Camp Spring. The presence of established shelters and named springs indicates the enduring importance of these sites for forest management and backcountry travel within the Klamath National Forest region.
