1978 Map of Salmon Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Salmon Mountains define this high-altitude landscape at the intersection of Humboldt, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties. This 1978 edition illustrates a wilderness dominated by the Salmon Trinity Alps Primitive Area and the meeting points of the Klamath National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest, and Trinity National Forest. The map is a study of remote drainage systems, following the North Fork Red Cap Creek and Middle Fork Red Cap Creek as they carve through steep terrain. While humans are mostly absent, the landscape is connected by an intricate network of pack trails and primitive routes, linking high points like Whiteys Peak and Indian Rocks to seasonal locations such as Mullens Camp. Geologists and backcountry historians will find interest in the lone Prospect located near Nordheimer Lake, representing the limited mineral exploration in this protected region.
