2018 Map of Kangaroo Mountain

About this map

Kangaroo Mtn stands as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape within the Klamath National Forest and Rogue River National Forest. The map documents a complex network of hydrological and topographic features along the Siskiyou Mountains divide, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds past high-altitude basins like Echo Lake, Hello Lake, and Towhead Lake. Named peaks such as Desolation Peak, Red Butte, and Upper Devils Peak anchor the ridgelines, while the deep drainage of the Middle Fork Applegate River and its tributaries carve through the northern terrain. Local history is etched into the landscape through unique labels like Pete Ives Glade, Cameron Meadow, and the Butte Fork Slide, illustrating the named glades and clearings that historically served as waypoints for travelers through this part of Siskiyou County.
