1981 Map of Boulder Peak

About this map

Marble Mountain Wilderness defines the character of this high-elevation landscape within the Klamath National Forest. The 1981 survey reveals a complex network of alpine water bodies, including the high-altitude Cliff Lake and Campbell Lake situated near the base of prominent peaks. A stretch of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern corner, reflecting the region's importance for long-distance recreation during the late twentieth century. Landforms like Boulder Peak and Red Mountain anchor the terrain, while numerous meadows such as Big Meadows and Sniktaw Meadow suggest pockets of grazing or seasonal ecology amidst the steep canyons. Waterways like Shackleford Creek and Mill Creek drain the slopes, punctuated by clusters of small lakes like Lower Wright Lake and Upper Wright Lake. This map serves as a primary record of the remote backcountry before more modern forest management practices or environmental changes shifted the wilderness character.
