About this map

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the high-elevation divide where the Rogue River National Forest meets the Klamath National Forest. This 1980 survey reveals a remote backcountry landscape defined by steep drainages and isolated alpine basins. Small glacial lakes like Hello Lake, Echo Lake, and Lily Pad Lake dot the terrain beneath peaks such as Rattlesnake Mtn and Kangaroo Mtn.

Evidence of early Forest Service infrastructure and recreational development is visible in the numerous sites for travelers, including Horse Camp, Bee Camp, and the uniquely named No-See-Um Camp. The map also details water features such as Ponytail Falls and Horsetail Falls on the eastern edge, while the north is shaped by the Applegate River and its various tributaries like Whisky Creek. Geological activity is noted at the Butte Fork Slide, emphasizing the shifting nature of this steep wilderness area.
