About this map

Siligo Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape of the Klamath Mountains, where the boundaries of Siskiyou Co and Trinity Co meet. The area is defined by its complex hydrology and early industrial interventions, evidenced by several instances of an Abandoned Ditch tracing the contours near Buckeye Fork and Stuart Fork. These ruins, alongside the Globe Mine and Chloride Mine, point to a history of resource extraction within what is now the Trinity Alps Wilderness.

Settlement patterns are represented by remote outposts and seasonal sites like Portuguese Camp, Morris Meadows Camp, and the historic Lords Cabin (Site). The terrain is remarkably water-rich, featuring a dense network of glacial lakes including Luella Lake, Diamond Lake, and Summit Lake. This 1982 provisional survey captures the transition of the region from an active mining and water-management landscape into a protected wilderness area managed by the Trinity National Forest and Shasta National Forest.
