2001 Map of Marble Mountain

About this map

The Marble Mountains define this high-elevation landscape within the Klamath National Forest, where steep ridgelines and glacial basins create a complex network of alpine lakes and seasonal camps. This 2001 revision reveals a wilderness area preserved for backcountry travel, centered around Marble Mountain and the dark silhouette of Black Marble Mountain. The drainage patterns are defined by the Scott River and Wooley Creek, with numerous smaller tributaries like Red Rock Creek carving deep into the terrain. Remote outposts such as Ananias Camp and Whisky Camp highlight the area's history of packing and forest management. The inclusion of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Klamath Wild and Scenic River designation reflects late 20th-century conservation priorities, protecting a landscape dotted with evocative landmarks like Man Eaten Lake and Kings Castle.
