2018 Map of Ukonom Lake

About this map

Klamath National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the late 2010s, where complex hydrology feeds into the Marble Mountains. The map reveals a dense concentration of glacial lakes and meadows, including the namesake Ukonom Lake and the nearby Cuddihy Lakes. This terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts from the heights of No Mans Mtn and Elk Peak down to the protected reaches of Burney Valley and Franks Valley. The drainage patterns are clearly visible as Ukonom Cr and the McCash Fork carve through the ridgelines. For those studying the wilderness geography of Siskiyou County, the map provides precise locations for named landmarks like Pigeon Roost, Cedar Flat, and Hells Meadows, reflecting the long-established naming conventions of this remote mountain region.
