2015 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Humboldt County, defined by steep drainages and isolated water bodies. The rugged geography centers on Fish Lake and the nearby Wright Place settlement, where the terrain falls away toward the Klamath River in the southeast corner. Transport through this wilderness relies on a network of historic paths like the Blue Creek Mountain Trl and Bluff Creek Trl, which follow the high ridges between peaks such as Onion Mtn and Bee Mtn. These trails provide the primary access to remote points like Bee Lake and Red Mountain Lake, tracing a path through the Salmon Mountains. This map documents a region where industry is minimal and the land remains largely defined by its natural water sources, from the headwaters of Fish Cr to the high-elevation Mud Spring.
