About this map

Salmon Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape, serving as a dividing line between the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest. The area is defined by its network of alpine basins and high ridges, including I-Am-Up Ridge and the prominent Deadman Peak. Significant high-altitude water bodies like South Fork Lakes, Twin Lakes, and Long Gulch Lake are scattered throughout the peaks, many accessible only by footpaths.

Evidence of small-scale resource extraction is visible through scattered Prospect and Tailings labels near the South Fork Coffee Creek. The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the eastern portion of the map highlights the area's role in the recreational development of the Klamath range. Remote outposts like the Schlomberg Cabin and seasonal grazing areas such as Lees Meadow and Joe Keen Meadows suggest a history of localized cattle ranging and mountain survival in this high-elevation wilderness.
