About this map

Doctor Rock and Peak Eight dominate the southern reaches of this high-elevation landscape within the Six Rivers National Forest. The area is defined by a series of steep drainages, most notably the Crescent City Fork and Buck Cr, which carve through the terrain between Lems Ridge and South Red Mtn. The eponymous Summit Valley sits in the northern half of the quadrangle, serving as a catchment area for several small tributaries.

Logistics and access through this remote portion of Del Norte County are recorded through a network of unpaved forest routes, including the G-O Rd and Forest Rte 14N01. These roads connect isolated landmarks such as Wooley Bear Spring and Cedar Camp Spring, which were essential water sources for forestry and backcountry travel before the modern era. The map provides a detailed view of the watershed patterns that feed into the larger river systems of the Klamath Mountains.
