2020 Map of Siskiyou Peak

About this map

Siskiyou Peak and the high ridgelines of the Siskiyou Divide define this borderland where Oregon meets California. The landscape is a complex of high summits including Wagner Butte and McDonald Peak, separated by significant passes like Cinnabar Gap and Siskiyou Gap. Water management and natural drainage are central to the terrain, marked by the long reach of the McDonald Ditch and the headwaters of the Little Applegate River. Much of the territory falls within the Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest, highlighting a region primarily dedicated to timber and recreation. Human passage through these heights is dominated by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds across the divide near Big Red Mtn and Jack Flat. The map also captures several distinct glades and gulches, such as Wymer Glade and Bear Gulch, which provide specific points of reference in an otherwise dense mountain wilderness.
