This map shows a detailed representation of a portion of the Klamath National Forest in California, focusing on the area defined by the Humboldt and Mount Diablo Meridians. The map delineates the boundaries of the national forest, providing a comprehensive view of the terrain, including topographic features such as rivers, creeks, and the rugged mountain landscape typical of this region in Northern California.
The map is laid out using the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, marked by townships and ranges, which is standard for land surveying in the United States. This grid structure facilitates precise location identification, crucial for navigation, land management, and planning within the national forest. Each section within the grid is carefully marked, reflecting the meticulous nature of surveying practices at the time of the map's creation.
The boundary of the Klamath National Forest is clearly marked, distinguishing the federally managed land from the surrounding private and state-owned lands. The map serves as a valuable tool for forest management, helping to regulate activities such as logging, conservation efforts, and recreational use within the designated national forest area. It provides a clear demarcation of the forest's extent, which spans across a diverse landscape characterized by dense forest cover, steep elevations, and complex river systems.
