About this map

Siligo Peak serves as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape, where numerous glacial lakes and seasonal camps are connected by a network of drainage systems. Remote outposts such as Portuguese Camp and Longs Cabin are situated near the headwaters of major water bodies like Stuart Fork and Deer Cr. The map highlights a complex hydrographic system including Salmon Lake, Luella Lake, and Diamond Lake, many of which sit in high basins like Mumford Basin.

Historically significant water management features are documented here, specifically the Buckeye Ditch and La Grange Ditch, which trace the contours of the lower elevations to redirect water from the alpine streams. These ditches, alongside features like Van Matre Meadows and Morris Meadows, illustrate the land's utility for both seasonal grazing and hydraulic engineering in the early 21st century.
