2012 Map of Deadman Peak

About this map

Deadman Peak stands at the center of this high-elevation landscape where the drainages of the E Fork S Fork Salmon River and S Fork Scott River converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and meadows, including Carter Meadow and Onion Meadow, which historically supported seasonal grazing and early mountain travel. Evidence of human presence is found at the Schlomberg Cabin and Trail Creek Campground, linked by a network of forest routes such as Forest Rte 39N20. Numerous glacial features are scattered across the peaks, including Trail Gulch Lake, Rush Creek Lake, and Little Jackson Lake, marking the headwaters of vital regional waterways. The map illustrates the 2012 state of this protected backcountry, where traditional place names like Dog Paw Gulch and Snowslide Gulch speak to the physical challenges faced by early explorers and survey parties.
