About this map

Deadman Peak stands at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, marking the convergence of the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest. The map documents a complex hydrology where the headwaters of the E Fork S Fork Salmon River and S Fork Scott River emerge from high glacial cirques and alpine basins. The topographical detail reveals a network of high-country meadows like Lees Meadow and Steveale Meadow that served as critical landmarks for early surveyors and stockmen.

Transit through the Scott Mountains is defined by a dense system of historic paths, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the Trail Gulch Trl. Named features like Joe Keen Meadows and Carter Meadows Summit suggest a history of seasonal grazing and movement across the crest. Small water bodies, from Hidden Lake to Rush Cr Lake, are tucked into deep gulches and canyons, reflecting the dramatic verticality of the Salmon Mountains.
