2001 Map of Bear Peak

About this map

Siskiyou Wilderness and the Klamath National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape, where complex drainage systems define the rugged topography. The map illustrates a network of prominent ridgelines such as the Kelsey Range and the Dillon Divide, which separate the watersheds of Clear Creek and the North Fork Klamath River. Local geography is marked by isolated water features, including Bear Lake, Lower Bear Lake, and the curiously named Dry Lake. Historically significant boundary lines are evident, including the Standard Parallel North and an Indefinite Boundary near the river's path. Named springs like Elbow Spring and unique topographical markers like the Five and Ten Divide offer specific points of interest for researchers studying the historical backcountry of Siskiyou County.
