Victorian 1959 Journal 170 Siskiyou Apr. Yreka & N. on Hwy # 99, Siskiyou County, Caly. 460 Cottonwood Creek 63.3 up avenue pass & under RR tunnel into an open transition area) 65 Hill one mile to W. A tall snaky peak to the NW in Oregon is very prominent. Mt Shasta is seen behind Black Mt jumpers - grasses oaks 466.5 Oregon state line - I turned around 470 little Artemisia here & since Yreka - never 1/2 cover as a dominant - the dominant brush is Ceanothus. 471.8 Cottonwood Cr. 472.6 road to E. where I turn off to photo most of the Ceanothus is in bloom. Erratic & periodic bands of ponderosa fingers down into the valley from the hill to the west. It appears in canyons but I believe that the pines have been logged out of here 475.2 Klamath River; turned off 99 & off onto secondary road going up river - where it opens into a broad shallow valley with low hills of brush & some jumpers to N. and brush-oak slopes of Black Mt. which rises abruptly to the S side of the river. A few sycamores in riparian area but no club where 'natural' - only in small groves at edge of river. This riparian growth is no more than 10-50' at most wide - most about 25'. Predominate is the willow 77.2 Northrock - across river & RR tracks, past 2 small mills and paved road to E.
