2015 Map of Dees Peak

About this map

Dees Peak and the surrounding high country define this section of the Salmon-Trinity Alps, where the boundaries of the Klamath National Forest and Trinity National Forest meet. The landscape is characterized by prominent ridges such as Carey Ridge and Bake Oven Ridge, which separate numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses. Named landmarks often reflect local figures and pioneer-era topography, seen in Mary Blaine Mtn and its associated Mary Blaine Meadow in the northeast. The complex drainage network includes the headwaters of the New River and its E Fork New River, which flow through a region marked by isolated peaks like Virgin Creek Buttes and Pony Buttes. This interior forest land remains largely defined by its natural features rather than permanent settlements, featuring vital water sources like Turney Spring.
