2015 Map of Marble Mountain

About this map

Marble Mountain and the surrounding high-elevation wilderness are the centerpiece of this study within the Klamath National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and alpine lakes, including the uniquely named Man Eaten Lake, Frying Pan Lake, and the cluster of Upper and Lower Sky High Lake. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the quadrangle, providing a continuous corridor through high-country landmarks like Black Marble Mtn and Kings Castle. The map documents the intricate hydrography of the region, where the headwaters of Wooley Cr, Elk Cr, and Canyon Cr drain the steep slopes of Cayenne Ridge and Hummocky Ridge. This record preserves the precise location of remote water sources such as Salt Water Spring and Cold Spring alongside distinctive landforms like the Jumpoff and Dads Pocket.
