About this map

Yreka serves as the central hub of this Northern California landscape, where the urban grid of streets like W Miner St and Jackson St transitions into a complex network of gulches and ridges. The settlement pattern reflects a long history of water management and land use, anchored by the Greenhorn Reservoir and educational sites like Greenhorn School. To the south, Forest House stands as a notable landmark along the winding path of Yreka Cr.

The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes, ranging from Montana Peak and Mahogany Point in the northwest to Bally Mountain in the south. Dozens of named drainages, including Uminoffer Gulch, Poison Gulch, and Canaan Gulch, illustrate a deeply dissected terrain. These features, along with Evergreen Cem, offer critical spatial context for researchers tracing the development of Siskiyou County's infrastructure and rural communities.
