About this map

Tennant serves as a focal point in this 1950s-era landscape, where the timber industry and rail transport define the local economy. The network of the Lumber RR and the Southern Pacific tracks weave through the forest, connecting small settlements like Bray, Leaf, and Jerome. This survey documents a critical period of industrial infrastructure in Siskiyou County, showing the proximity of logging operations to water sources like Antelope Creek and the Antelope Sink.

High-altitude landmarks such as Haight Mtn, Wild Horse Mtn, and Sharp Mtn provide a vertical contrast to the drainage basins and valleys. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific points of interest including a Cem near Tennant and various remote outposts like Pollic Flat and La Honda Well. The map also captures specialized land use, from the Cinder Pit near the northern boundary to the diverse forest divisions of the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest.
