About this map

Kangaroo Mountain stands at the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Siskiyou Mountains, where the boundaries of the Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest meet. The 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by dramatic peaks and deep canyons, connected by the high-altitude path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. This route passes landmarks like Cook and Green Pass and skirts the ridges near Upper Devils Peak and Mid Devils Peak.

Water is a defining characteristic of this wilderness, with small glacial basins forming uniquely named features such as Hello Lake, Goodbye Lake, and Towhead Lake. Several drainages, including the Middle Fork Applegate River and the East and West forks of Seiad Cr, carve out gulches like French Gulch and Sawmill Gulch. This map provides researchers a detailed view of the forest management road network, including 1040 Rd and 1055 Rd, which provide access to these remote summits.
