2001 Map of Youngs Peak

About this map

Klamath National Forest and the northern reaches of the Trinity National Forest converge in this high-elevation region of Northern California, marked by the confluence of the Klamath River and the South Fork Salmon River. The landscape is defined by its deep mining history, evidenced by a concentration of claims including the Knownothing Mine, Gilta Mine, and Wolverine Mine scattered along the drainages of Knownothing Creek. The rugged boundary between Siskiyou and Trinity counties runs through the heart of the map, crossing prominent heights like Youngs Peak and Bowerman Peak. Evidence of early settlement and backcountry travel is preserved through locations such as Barton Cabin and the Hansen Mine Trail, while the eastern portion transitions into the protected wilderness of the Trinity Alps Mountains.
