2022 Map of Salmon Mountain

About this map

Salmon Mtn rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude wilderness where the boundaries of Siskiyou, Humboldt, and Trinity counties meet. This survey shows the complex watershed of the Salmon Mountains, where the headwaters of Red Cap Cr, Eightmile Cr, and Nordheimer Cr originate from small glacial tarns like Red Cap Lake and Nordheimer Lake. The landscape is managed under the overlapping jurisdictions of Klamath National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest, and Trinity National Forest. Connectivity through this primitive terrain is maintained by a network of footpaths including the Salmon Summit Trl and Mullins Camp Trl, tracing narrow ridges like Devils Backbone and Packsaddle Ridge that have long served as the primary routes through these northern California peaks.
