2017 Map of Siskiyou Peak

About this map

The Oregon California state line bisects this mountainous landscape where the Rogue River National Forest meets the Klamath National Forest. The terrain is dominated by high summits and deep drainages, including Siskiyou Peak, Wagner Butte, and McDonald Peak. This area is historically significant for its naming conventions, such as Cinnabar Gap and Cinnabar Gulch, which point to the region’s geological and prospecting past. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds across the high ridges, connecting notable landmarks like Siskiyou Gap and Wrangle Gap. Water systems define the slopes, with the Little Applegate River and its tributaries such as Hendricks Cr and Glade Cr flowing through the northern reaches, while the southern slopes feed into the Cow Cr watershed. The presence of Monogram Lakes and Wymer Glade provides distinct markers for those tracing historical backcountry routes and land use patterns along the Siskiyou crest.
