About this map

The Marble Mountains define this high-elevation landscape in Klamath National Forest, where the topography is dominated by steep ridges and a dense network of glacial basins. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Boulder Peak and Red Mtn, which overlook a series of alpine water bodies including Isinglass Lake, Lower Wright Lake, and Upper Wright Lake. The hydrography of the region is complex, with numerous creeks like Shackleford Cr and Mill Cr draining the slopes into the surrounding valleys.

Outdoor recreation and conservation are central to this area of Siskiyou County, highlighted by the passage of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail through the southern sections. Notable features like Sniktaw Meadow, Muse Meadow, and Big Meadows suggest the seasonal grazing and natural clearings that break up the forested reaches. Collectors and historians can trace the intricate drainage patterns of Canyon Cr and Sniktaw Cr as they navigate the dramatic elevation changes of the Hayden Bench.
