1982 Map of Broken Rib Mtn

About this map

Randolph Collier Tunnel and the Hazel View Summit anchor the northwestern portion of this 1982 map, marking a critical transit point where the road passes through the mountains near the Oregon-California border. This survey captures a remote intersection of administrative boundaries and wilderness, where the Six Rivers National Forest, Siskiyou National Forest, and Klamath National Forest converge. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainages of the Middle Fork Smith River and Elk Creek. Notable for local history and resource extraction research, the map identifies a specific mine and prospect near Chicago Creek, alongside high-country locations like Camp Chicago (Site) and Stevens Camp. The terrain features several named peaks, including Broken Rib Mountain and Wounded Knee Mountain, providing a detailed look at the trail networks and 4WD roads used for forest management and backcountry access in the early 1980s.
