About this map

Boulder Peak stands as a central landmark within this portion of the Marble Mountain Wilderness, a high-elevation terrain characterized by numerous glacial tarns and alpine meadows. The 1981 survey reveals a complex network of backcountry routes, including the Pacific Crest Scenic Trail and various unnamed pack trails that navigate the steep ridges between Klamath National Forest and the surrounding peaks.

Water is a defining feature of this landscape, with significant basins holding Lower Wright Lake, Isinglass Lake, and the cluster of Mill Creek Ponds. The presence of established Campsites near Cliff Lake and Campbell Lake indicates the area's long-standing role as a destination for wilderness recreation. Names like Sniktaw Meadow and Muse Meadow reflect local nomenclature in this Siskiyou County wilderness before modern developments could reach these remote heights.
