1982 Map of Preston Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Preston Peak dominates the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Klamath National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the Siskiyou mountains are clearly defined. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges such as Cedar Crest and the Elk Lick Ridge, which separate deep canyons carved by Indian Creek and Preston Creek. A single unnamed Mine near Cyclone Gap in the northwest corner suggests the prospecting history of the area, while names like Rattlesnake Meadow and Elk Lick point to the early identification of specific habitats and natural features by surveyors and hunters. The map illustrates a high-country wilderness largely accessible by 4WD tracks and trails, centering on the granite spires of El Capitan and the alpine waters of Raspberry Lake. To the south, the Five and Ten Divide creates a notable watershed boundary between Tenmile Creek and Fivemile Creek.
