About this map

Medicine Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Siskiyou County, where the 2012 survey details a complex network of canyons and ridges. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems, including Wooley Cr, Rock Cr, and Hancock Cr, which carve through the wilderness toward Steinacher Ridge. This area is characterized by seasonal backcountry hubs such as North Fork Camp, Bear Skull Camp, and Hamilton Camp, which serve as primary landmarks in an otherwise unpopulated mountain expanse.

Water features are concentrated in the southern and eastern portions of the map, where Clear Lake, Lily Lake, and Lost Lake sit near the headwaters of Lost Lake Cr. The northern slopes are marked by sharp descents like Snowslide Gulch and Hell Hole Cr, illustrating the steep verticality of the Klamath Mountains. This edition captures the layout of Forest Service routes and trails as they existed a decade ago, providing a record for backcountry researchers and those tracing historical access to these remote peaks.
