1954 Map of Bone Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial logging and early forest management. Remote outposts like Camp No 2 and Coal Creek Camp are linked by a dedicated Railroad and primitive roads, supporting the timber operations that relied on local features like the Logging Pond. The terrain is marked by high peaks such as Bone Mtn and Mt Bolivar, while specialized sites like the Wooden Rock Guard Sta highlight the infrastructure required to monitor these timberlands. Traces of earlier resource extraction appear in the south at the Fuller Mine and Old Red Mine, tucked away near the South Fork Coquille River. The complex network of water bodies, including Mule Creek, Grant Creek, and the Middle Fork Coquille River, serves as the primary drainage for this heavily timbered region at the boundary of Coos, Douglas, and Curry counties.
