2015 Map of West Haight Mountain

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this section of Siskiyou County, where the high-elevation terrain of the Cascade Range is defined by peaks like Whaleback Mtn and West Haight Mountain. The landscape is a network of ridges and drainage basins, most notably the Alder Creek Divide and the deep incision of Blue Canyon. A complex system of forestry and access roads such as Old Highway, Woodcutter, and Rainbow Dr provides a glimpse into the timber management and recreation patterns of the early 21st century. Water sources are critical in this high-country environment, documented through numerous named springs including Trapper Spring, Pilson Springs, and Onion Spring, which feed into local waterways like Butte Cr and Pomeroy Cr. Unique, informally named features such as Who Cares? and Got Me? reflect a local vernacular often found in remote mountain navigation.
