2012 Map of Youngs Peak

About this map

The S Fork Salmon River cuts through the northern reach of this mountain landscape, where the Cecilville Rd follows the water's edge. This 2012 survey illustrates the complex drainage network of the Klamath Mountains, defined by the extensive Knownothing Cr system and its east and west forks. Human presence is sparse and localized, represented by the Barton Cabin and the riverside Hotelling Campground. The terrain is marked by deep gulches such as Henry Bell Gulch and O'Farrill Gulch, while high points like Youngs Peak and Bowerman Peak overlook the narrow valleys. A small high-elevation water body, Knownothing Lake, sits tucked beneath Slate Gap, while historic river crossings like Jack Harveys Crossing and bars like Missouri Bar hint at the area's gold-mining and pioneer heritage.
