2015 Map of Figurehead Mountain

About this map

Figurehead Mountain stands at the center of this high-elevation landscape along the border of California and Oregon. Located within the shared boundaries of the Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest, the terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Siskiyou Mountains. The hydrology of the area is distinct, with headwaters like the Middle Fork Applegate River and Butte Fork Applegate River flowing north, while Fort Goff Cr and its various forks drain the southern slopes. Several alpine lakes are tucked into the high basins, including Azalea Lake, Snake Lake, and Lonesome Lake. Named landmarks such as Mt Emily, Pyramid Peak, and Goff Butte provide navigational reference points across this roadless expanse. For researchers, the map details many smaller features like Phantom Meadows and Cameron Meadows, alongside numerous named gulches such as Sweaty Gulch and Knox Gulch.
