About this map

Poker Flat serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape where the Siskiyou National Forest meets the Klamath National Forest. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Polar Bear Mtn, Lookout Mtn, and Black Butte, alongside smaller features like Bear Cub and The Lieutenants. A complex network of drainage systems, such as Dunn Cr and W Br Indian Cr, flows through deep cuts like Sanger Canyon.

The map details an extensive trail system utilized for wilderness access, including the Poker Flat-Young's Valley Trl and the Kelly Lake-Poker Flat Trl. These routes connect remote water bodies like Kelly Lake and Mud Lake with rugged high points such as Crazy Peak and Little Grayback. The presence of Loretta Falls on W Fork Althouse Cr highlights the steep vertical drops common across the Siskiyou Mountains.
