About this map

The high-elevation terrain of the Marble Mountains dominates this portion of the Klamath National Forest, defined by a network of seasonal camps and alpine water bodies. The rugged landscape includes numerous small lakes such as Frying Pan Lake, Upper Sky High Lake, and the curiously named Man Eaten Lake. Established outposts like Whisky Camp, Big Rock Camp, and Ananias Camp reflect the area’s history of backcountry exploration and Forest Service management, anchored by a Forest Service Station in Marble Valley.

Long-distance travel through this part of Siskiyou County is centered on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the ridge lines near Black Marble Mountain. The presence of the Anthony Mine Camp near Wooley Creek points to the region's mineral prospecting past, while trails like the Sky High Trail connect the various basins. Notable peaks like Kings Castle and Elk Peak provide distinct landmarks for navigating this wilderness area as it was recorded in the late 1970s.
