About this map

Salmon Mountains peaks and deep glacial basins define this high-elevation corner of the Klamath National Forest in the mid-1980s. The landscape is a network of alpine water bodies, including the clusters around Big Blue Lake, Upper Albert Lake, and the remote Horse Range Lakes. The Pacific Crest Scenic Trail winds through the terrain, passing prominent summits like Russian Peak and Eaton Peak.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated in specific pockets, such as the J H Ranch and the sheltered Paradise Hollow. Resource extraction is noted by several Prospects located near the southern boundary, while the presence of a Ditch and Miners Creek indicates the legacy of water management and mining in the region. The map preserves the geography of this wilderness before modern changes, documenting names like Meeks Meadow Lake and the Horse Range that have long served as landmarks for backcountry travelers and surveyors.
