1982 Map of Broken Rib Mtn

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest and Siskiyou National Forest dominate this terrain along the rugged border of Oregon and California in the early 1980s. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by significant engineering and natural preservation, centered on the Randolph Collier Tunnel and Hazel View Summit. High mountain peaks such as Broken Rib Mountain, Sanger Peak, and Wounded Knee Mountain define the topography, while the Middle Fork Smith River carves through the central wilderness. Human presence is sparse, marked by the Inspection Station along U.S. Route 199, the Gateway State Wayside, and the historic Camp Chicago (Site). Genealogists and historians can identify early infrastructure like Stevens Camp and a remote Mine located near the shore of Whisky Lake, reflecting the era's balance between resource extraction and the conservation of the Klamath National Forest.
