2015 Map of Prescott Mountain

About this map

Prescott Mountain and the Kelsey Range define a high-elevation drainage divide along the border of Six Rivers National Forest and Klamath National Forest. This 2015 survey details a landscape where the Siskiyou Mountains meet the Siskiyou and Del Norte county line. The map reveals a complex network of high alpine lakes, including the isolated Lost Spoon Lake, Solitaire Lake, and Harrington Lake, which feed the western-flowing S Fork Smith River and the eastern-flowing W Fork Clear Cr. This hydrographic pattern illustrates the divide between the Smith and Klamath River watersheds. Local landmarks such as Bear Wallows and Baldy Peak highlight the varied topography of this crest, while the Dillon Divide in the southeast serves as a key transit point between the Harrington Cr and N Fork Dillon Cr basins.
