1984 Map of Bogus Mountain

About this map

Shasta Valley dominates this 1980s landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad runs parallel to the Ager Road through a region defined by scattered ranching settlements and rural educational centers. The map documents three distinct school sites—Willow Creek Sch, Snowden School, and Foothill School—serving the small communities of Ager, Snowden, and Coyote Corners. The terrain transitions from the relatively flat valley floor, where the Siskiyou County Airport is located, to the high elevations of Bogus Mountain and Black Mountain in the north and east. The hydrology is centered on the winding path of Willow Creek, supplemented by human-engineered features like the Kuck Ditch and several borrow pits, illustrating the local management of water resources in this part of Siskiyou County.
