2001 Map of Boulder Peak

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Marble Mountain Wilderness protects a dense cluster of alpine lakes and meadows. The area is defined by its dramatic relief, anchored by the summit of Boulder Peak and a series of glacial cirques containing Isinglass Lake, Cliff Lake, and Campbell Lake. The drainage patterns are clearly established by Shackleford Creek and the Shelly Fork Kidder Creek, which flow through heavily timbered valleys. Hikers and researchers can trace the precise 2001 alignment of the Pacific Crest Nat Scenic Trail as it traverses the western ridges, passing through Muse Meadow and Summit Meadow. The presence of numerous named springs and high-altitude pastures like Sniktaw Meadow indicates the historical importance of water sources and summer grazing in this part of Siskiyou County.
