2001 Map of Preston Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Preston Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-elevation corner of the Klamath National Forest, where the complex geology of the Klamath Mountains is on full display. The landscape is defined by the protected wilderness of the Siskiyou Wilderness, featuring a network of glacial cirques and alpine basins like Cedar Basin and Rattlesnake Meadow. Water systems are central to the geography, with South Fork Indian Creek and Clear Creek draining the steep slopes, while smaller features such as Raspberry Lake and Elk Lick indicate the varied hydrology of the region. The map preserves the 2001 wilderness and wild river boundaries, including the Klamath and Wild Scenic River Boundary, which protects the pristine character of the waterways. Significant peaks such as El Capitan, Copper Mtn, and Boulder Peak ring the central drainage, marking a terrain where early mining and fire lookout access once dictated the few trails and gaps, such as Cyclone Gap, that traverse these ridges.
