About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this section of the northern California highlands, defined by the geological complex of the Marble Mountains. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the central corridor, providing access to a high-elevation landscape of glacial cirques and alpine basins. Significant landmarks like Marble Mtn and Black Marble Mtn tower over the surrounding drainage systems of Wooley Cr and Elk Cr.

This 2018 survey reveals a concentration of remote water bodies, including the Upper and Lower Sky High Lake, Rainy Lake, and the curiously named Man Eaten Lake. The terrain is marked by distinctive named pockets and valleys such as Dads Pocket, Wooley Creek Pocket, and Death Valley, suggesting a legacy of backcountry use and specific local naming conventions. From the high point at Kings Castle to the trailhead at Lovers Camp, the map documents the established routes and physical geography of this protected wilderness area.
