2022 Map of Dees Peak

About this map

The Salmon Mountains define the high-elevation landscape of this remote wilderness, where the border between Klamath National Forest and Trinity National Forest crosses significant peaks like Dees Peak and Mary Blaine Mtn. The terrain is marked by a complex network of ridgelines, including Carey Ridge and Bake Oven Ridge, which separate deep drainages feeding into the Trinity Wild and Scenic River system. A historical reliance on foot and pack travel is evident in the numerous established routes such as the Salmon Summit Trl and Milk Camp Trl that navigate the slopes near Mary Blaine Meadow and Butterfly Flat. This map preserves the names of localized landmarks like Virgin Creek Buttes and Pony Buttes, which served as critical orientation points for early foresters and packers.
