About this map

Klamath National Forest, Shasta National Forest, and Trinity National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape within the Salmon Trinity Alps Primitive Area. The terrain is marked by the presence of early 20th-century extraction efforts, including the Globe Mine, Chloride Mine, and various Prospects scattered across the northern slopes. This remote wilderness area, now part of the Trinity Alps Wilderness, centers on the dramatic Siligo Peak and the surrounding alpine basins.

Historical human activity is visible through a network of seasonal camps and specialized sites. Former dwellings like the Longs Cabin (Site) and established locations such as Morris Meadows Camp and Portuguese Camp suggest the legacy of both mining and packing in these mountains. Glacial lakes, including Salmon Lake, Luella Lake, and Diamond Lake, define the watersheds for Swift Creek and the South Fork Salmon River.
