2018 Map of Prescott Mountain

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest and Klamath National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Siskiyou and Del Norte Counties. The terrain is defined by the massive spine of the Siskiyou Mountains, where high-elevation landmarks like Prescott Mtn and Baldy Peak overlook a network of alpine basins. This 2018 survey reveals a series of remote mountain lakes, including Prescott Lake, Harrington Lake, Lost Spoon Lake, and Solitaire Lake, which serve as the headwaters for significant drainage systems like the S Fork Smith River and N Fork Dillon Cr. Local place names such as Bear Wallows and the Kelsey Range suggest the historical character of this wilderness area. The map also identifies the Dillon Divide and Stevens Mtn, providing a detailed look at the drainage divides and topographic transitions within these protected California forest lands.
