There seems to be issues with the geographic overlap of the subspecies -- both Martes caurina ssp. caurina and Martes caurina ssp. sierrae are shown in the southern Sierra Nevadas.

I did not create atlases for the Pacific marten subspecies - I just moved them from Martens americana, and this just moved the IDs and observations for them with it. Do you think atlases and/or range maps would resolve the issue? Know any cited literature on the topic?

The Sierra subspecies should be pretty clear (historically in the Sierra Nevadas, and released near Mt. Lassen).

I'm not sure about specific studies, but you could start here:

(just be aware of their bias in favor of Humboldt marten subspecies)
