2018 Map of Deadman Peak

About this map

Deadman Peak stands as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Klamath National Forest meets the Shasta-National Forest. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and alpine meadows, including Carter Meadow, Lees Meadow, and Onion Meadow, which historically served as vital summer grazing grounds. This area within the Salmon Mountains is a significant hydrological hub, feeding numerous tributaries such as the E Fork S Fork Salmon River, Coffee Cr, and S Fork Scott River. A segment of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the northern portion of the map, tracing the high ridges above Little Jackson Lake and Hidden Lake. The distribution of family-named features like Joe Keen Meadows and various gulches such as Daley Gulch and Noland Gulch points to the region's history of small-scale mining and early ranching efforts.
