2012 Map of English Peak

About this map

English Peak Lookout Tower stands as the primary vantage point over this high-altitude landscape in the Marble Mountain Wilderness area of the Klamath National Forest. The terrain is defined by a dense network of alpine lakes and glacial basins, including Lake of the Island, Hancock Lake, and Lake Ethel, which feed the headwaters of the N Fork Salmon River and Wooley Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where human presence is marked only by isolated structures like the Tom Taylor Cabin and Smith Cabin. The distribution of Big Meadows and Grants Meadows among steep features such as Hell Hole Ridge and English Peak shows the classic drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of Siskiyou County for generations of foresters and backcountry travelers.
