About this map

Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest meet in this high-altitude region along the Siskiyou and Trinity County line. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including Upper Boulder Lake, Washbasin Lake, and Granite Lake, which feed a complex network of headwaters such as E Boulder Creek and the N Fork Coffee Creek. These waterways originate from prominent high points like Billys Peak and Eagle Peak, illustrating the primary drainage patterns for the surrounding wilderness areas.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the central terrain, providing a continuous link through features like Fox Creek Ridge and the Eagle Creek Benches. Significant open areas like Stoddard Meadow and Doe Flat suggest traditional grazing or campsite locations within the timbered slopes. Notable geologic and geographic markers, such as Blue Jay Ridge and Schuler Gulch, provide reference points for understanding the natural barriers and passage routes that have shaped the use of this backcountry for decades.
