About this map

The Six Rivers National Forest dominates this section of the Klamath Mountains, where the drainage of the Smith Wild and Scenic River carves through the landscape. Central to the topography is Summit Valley, a high-elevation basin bounded by significant peaks and ridges. The Crescent City Fork of the Smith River winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, fed by numerous water sources including Wooley Bear Spring and Cedar Camp Spring.

Remote trails and forest routes like Gasquet-Orleans and Red Mtn provide the primary access through this wilderness. Notable geological and landmark features include the prominent Doctor Rock, Peak Eight, and the elevation of South Red Mtn. The map captures the specialized management of this protected watershed, emphasizing the intersection of high ridges like Lems Ridge with protected river corridors.
