2001 Map of The Whaleback

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

The Whaleback dominates the southeastern terrain of this Siskiyou County landscape, a prominent volcanic feature situated within the expansive Klamath National Forest. The map documents a rugged interface of timberland and geological activity at the dawn of the 21st century. Near the center of the sheet, the small settlement of Cougar sits along the roadway, while Andesite serves as a junction point further south near the Military Pass Road. The transition from the high elevations of Sheep Rock and Deer Mountain down toward the Shasta Valley is marked by resource extraction sites, including a Sandpit, Gravel Pit, and Cinder Pit. This survey also delineates the complex administrative boundaries between the Klamath and Shasta National Forest, showing the intricate zig-zagging National Forest Boundary as it follows the high ridges and valley floors.
