1986 Map of Tangle Blue Lake

About this map

Scott Mts form a formidable backdrop for this high-elevation mountain terrain within the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Trinity River and a network of glacial lakes including Tangle Blue Lake, Big Bear Lake, and Log Lake. Evidence of human activity in this wilderness area is scattered between the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and various 4WD tracks. Small clearings like Sunflower Flat and Sunny Flat offer breaks in the dense forest, while locations such as Messner Cabin and Trumble Ranch indicate isolated residential or operational outposts. The presence of the Grand National Mine suggests historical mineral exploration near Tangle Blue Creek, while established sites like Eagle Creek Campground and Horse Flat Campground provide modern utility for backcountry travelers and surveyors.
