About this map

Klamath National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation landscape in Siskiyou County, where the topography is defined by prominent peaks like West Haight Mtn and Deer Mtn. The hydrology of the region is centered on Butte Creek and its various tributaries, including Alder Creek and Pomeroy Creek. Numerous watering points, such as Rose Spring, Double Spring, and Filson Spring, are scattered throughout the terrain, indicating the importance of these water sources in an otherwise high-country environment.

A network of historical and modern transit paths cuts through the forest, most notably the segment marked as Old Highway. The map details an extensive system of trails and service roads, including the Whaleback Trail, Deer Mountain Long Loop Trail, and the Kendell Xmas Tree Trail, which navigate the steep grades near Ulcer Point and the Alder Creek Divide. These routes illustrate the long-standing use of the area for timber management and backcountry access.
