About this map

The Klamath River and Trinity River converge at Weitchpec, a vital geographic and cultural landmark within the Six Rivers National Forest. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation details the steep, drain-cut terrain where the two waterways meet, highlighting the riverside Saints Rest Bar and the adjacent Weitchpec School Rd. The landscape is defined by its deep gulches, such as Monkey Gulch and Bigtree Gulch, and the high ridges of the Salmon Mountains that rise to the east.

Road systems like Snow Camp Rd and New Village Rd trace the contours of the river valleys, providing access to remote points like Bald Hill and Bunch Grass Ridge. To the north, the map includes smaller bodies of water such as Youngs Lake and Turtle Lake, situated near Burrill Peak. The survey serves as a modern record of this significant river junction and the intricate network of forest service roads and local tracks that serve the surrounding mountains.
