About this map

Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness dominate this pocket of the Klamath Mountains, where the landscape is defined by the sharp vertical relief of the Big Craggies and Green Craggie. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Collier Creek and its southern fork feeding into a system that ultimately reaches the Chetco Wild and Scenic River. This waterway serves as the primary axis for the region's wilderness travel, accompanied by the Upper Chetco Trl.

Resource management and recreational access are centered on the trail networks, including the Tincup Trl and Mislatnah Trl, which connect high-elevation points like Mislatnah Peak and High Prairie. The absence of roads reflects the protected status of the terrain, while landmarks such as Humboldt Spring and Lately Prairie provide specific points of reference for those tracing the history of wilderness survey and land preservation in Curry County.
