2018 Map of Scott Mountain

About this map

Scott Mountain Summit serves as a prominent landmark along the boundary of Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest. This high-elevation terrain is defined by the headwaters of several major drainage systems, including the E Fork Scott River and the Trinity River. The landscape is etched by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the ridge lines near Scott Mtn and Kangaroo Lake. Historical land use is evidenced by a Mine Claim in Hayes Gulch and the naming of Schoolhouse Hill in the north. The area's hydrology is particularly complex, featuring high-altitude water bodies such as Lily Pad Lake and Big Carmen Lake, alongside numerous seasonal creeks like Mule Cr and Robbers Meadow Cr that flow through the surrounding gulches and meadows.
