About this map

The Marble Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Klamath National Forest. At the center of the survey, Boulder Peak and Red Mtn rise above a series of alpine basins that hold Upper Wright Lake, Lower Wright Lake, and the smaller Deep Lake. The terrain is characterized by steep glacial cirques and expansive high-country clearings such as Big Meadows, Muse Meadow, and Sniktaw Meadow.

Transit through this wilderness is defined by primitive routes and specialized trails. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern corner near Kidder Lake and Cliff Lake, reflecting the area's role in long-distance recreation. Hydrological patterns are complex, with drainage flowing through Shackleford Cr, Mill Cr, and Boulder Creek. Named landmarks like Canyon Bench and Peregrine Gulch provide specific reference points for those tracking historic forest service routes and remote mountain geography.
