About this map

Klamath National Forest terrain dominates this survey of the Siskiyou mountains, where steep drainages and isolated mining operations define the landscape. The map captures evidence of significant historical extraction, notably at the Iron Dyke Mine Tailings Pond and several named workings such as the Golden Rule Mine and Trust Buster Mine. These sites are concentrated along the complex gulch systems of Beaver Creek and Lumgrey Creek.

Evidence of ranching life is preserved at the Mayflower Ranch and the Condrey Ranch (Site), the latter of which features a landing strip. High-altitude landmarks like Buckhorn Bally, Sterling Mtn, and Trapper Point provide orientation across the remote ridges. Numerous water sources including Cinnabar Springs and Buckhorn Spring are carefully noted, indicating their importance for both local wildlife and the region's intermittent mining and ranching industries.
