About this map

Scott Mountain Summit stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation landscape where the Klamath Mountains and Shasta Mountains meet. The 2001 survey illustrates a region defined by its complex mining history and rugged hydrology, featuring several specialized extraction sites such as the Polar Bear Mine, Facey Mine, and Grouse Creek Mine. Settlement is sparse, represented by the Hayden Cabin near the headwaters of the Scott River.

Resource extraction and recreation coexist throughout the Shasta National Forest and Klamath National Forest. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds across the southern ridges, passing through the Trinity Alps Wilderness. Notable water bodies like Kangaroo Lake and Lily Pad Lake dot the high basins, while the terrain is further marked by descriptive landmarks like Lovers Leap and Schoolhouse Hill, which hint at early pioneer navigation and local lore.
