1954 Map of Bone Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest covers much of this mid-century landscape, where the intersection of Coos, Douglas, and Curry counties creates a complex topographic profile defined by the Middle Fork Coquille River and the Eden Valley River. The presence of a Railroad Grade near Camp No 2 and a Lumber Camp (Site) reflects the heavy industrial reliance on timber extraction during the 1950s. High-altitude outposts like Eden Lookout and the Wooden Rock Guard Sta highlight the critical role of fire watch and forest management in this timber-rich region. Geologic interests are represented by the Fuller Mine and Old Red Mine, located south of Mt Bolivar, indicating the localized prospecting history that accompanied the development of the river valleys. The map documents a network of foot and jeep trails that connected these remote camps and peaks before modern road development was fully established.
