2015 Map of Tanners Peak

About this map

Klamath National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Siskiyou County, where the N Fork Salmon River and its numerous tributaries carve deep through the terrain. The map reveals a region shaped by its water and ridges, stretching between the Marble Mountains to the northwest and the Salmon Mountains to the southeast. Remote access points like Mule Bridge connect isolated areas such as Robinson Flat and the high point at Tanners Peak. A complex network of named gulches, including China Gulch and Creole Belle Gulch, hints at the area's prospecting and industrial history. The transition from the N Russian Cr drainage toward the southern ridges near Incline Ridge highlights the steep, unforgiving relief that has historically dictated movement and settlement patterns throughout the Salmon River watershed.
