About this map

The Salmon Mountains dominate the high-elevation divide where Klamath National Forest meets Shasta National Forest. This 2015 survey details a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep drainage systems, centered on the Deadman Peak summit. The northern reach of the map is traversed by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds past Lees Meadow and Carter Meadow before crossing the Carter Meadows Summit.

High-altitude hydrology is a central feature, evidenced by a series of alpine water bodies including Long Gulch Lake, Hidden Lake, and Poison Lake. Names like Joe Keen Meadows and Lady Gulch reflect a history of early mountain use and prospecting along the headwaters of the S Fork Scott River and Coffee Cr. The map captures the complex boundary between Siskiyou and Trinity counties as it follows the crest of these granite peaks.
