1997 Map of Summit Valley

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest and the Siskiyou Wilderness dominate this high-country survey of Del Norte County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Smith River corridor and its protected surroundings, with the Summit Valley Wilderness Boundary carving through the center of the sheet. Notable landmarks include the Summit Valley Lookout (Site) and geological features like Doctor Rock and South Red Mountain. Water sources are critical identifiers across this terrain, marked by several named points such as Woolly Bear Spring, Cedar Camp Spring, and Shelter Spring. This revision reflects the forest management priorities of the late 1990s, where the network of drainage systems like Blue Creek and Goose Creek are mapped alongside a single industrial Quarry in the southwest, illustrating the balance between natural resource protection and localized extraction.
