About this map

Deadman Peak stands at the convergence of three major national forests during this 2001 revision, marking a high point where the Klamath National Forest, Shasta National Forest, and Trinity National Forest meet. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the South Fork Salmon River and East Fork Scott River drawing water from numerous alpine basins. The map illustrates the specialized land management of the era, showing the protected status of the Klamath Wild and Scenic River and the high-elevation traverse of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.

Evidence of human habitation and land use is sparse but specific, appearing in the form of remote outposts like the Schlomberg Cabin and seasonal grazing areas such as Joe Keen Meadows and Chipmunk Meadow. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous gulches, including Taylor Gulch and Hardscrabble Gulch, where scattered prospects and tailings indicate a history of mineral exploration. This survey serves as a precise record of the administrative boundaries and trail networks that shaped the wilderness before the turn of the millennium.
