1993 Map of Emerson Peak

About this map

The South Warner Wilderness dominates this corner of the Modoc National Forest, showcasing a landscape shaped by high peaks and high-elevation meadows along the border of Modoc and Lassen counties. The rugged terrain transitions from the deep Long Valley in the west toward the towering heights of Emerson Peak and Bearcamp Mtn. Administrative and recreational activity centers on points like the Patterson Guard Sta and the wide expanses of Patterson Meadow and Corporation Meadow. A network of drainage systems, including the North Fork East Creek and South Fork East Creek, flows through these highlands, while the Summit Trail provides the primary traverse across the wilderness ridge. Remote water features such as Lost Lake and Skunk Cabbage Creek highlight the isolated character of this high-country environment in the early 1990s.
