2015 Map of Summit Valley

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape in Del Norte County, where the topography is shaped by a series of steep ridges and creek drainages. The map centers on Summit Valley, a significant high-altitude basin flanked by prominent peaks including Peak Eight and the distinctively named Doctor Rock. This area serves as a critical watershed, feeding various tributaries such as the Crescent City Fork, E Fork Goose Cr, and Blue Cr. The drainage patterns reveal the complex hydrology of the northern California mountains, with seasonal water sources like Wooley Bear Spring and Cedar Camp Spring providing vital points of reference in the backcountry. Access is primarily facilitated by the G-O Rd and various forest routes, which navigate the terrain near Lems Ridge and Red Mtn.
