About this map

Sundown Mountain and the surrounding reaches of the Siskiyou National Forest define this landscape in the mid-1980s. The area is marked by a complex network of timber and access roads winding through the drainage basins of the Pistol River and Hunter Creek. While dominated by natural terrain, human activity is evident at the Gardner Ranch and the small settlement of Myers.

Resource extraction and land management are visible through several Borrow Pit locations and the West Mine near Red Flat. For those interested in local history and genealogy, the map identifies specific small-scale landmarks such as a isolated Grave near a Corral in the northwest. Distinctive upland clearings like Sundown Prairie and Mule Prairie provide navigational anchors among the steep ridges and numerous named tributaries like Deep Creek and Glade Creek.
