2018 Map of Salmon Mountain

About this map

Salmon Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Salmon Mountains stand at the intersection of three major national forests in this 2018 survey. The map details a complex network of ridgelines and water sources, including the Salmon Summit Trl which traverses the rugged border between the Six Rivers National Forest and Klamath National Forest. Named landmarks like Whiteys Peak, Indian Rocks, and Devils Backbone define the topography, while high-elevation water bodies such as Red Cap Lake and Nordheimer Lake are primary features in the drainage basins for Nordheimer Cr and Red Cap Cr. This modern topographic study identifies the precise boundaries between Humboldt, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties, offering a clear view of the wilderness as it was managed in the early 21st century.
