1979 Map of Cecilville

About this map

Cecilville serves as the primary outpost in this mountain landscape where the South Fork Salmon River and Cecil Creek meet. The 1970s terrain is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, with numerous mining operations such as the King Solomon Mine, White Bear Mine, and Starveout Mine dotting the gulches. Transportation through the Klamath National Forest is defined by a network of pack trails and river crossings, including several specific cable crossings along the river's winding path. Evidence of earlier habitation is found at the Yoakumville (Site), while active land use is indicated by the Godfrey Ranch and Blue Ridge Ranch. The presence of the Crawford Cr FS Station highlights the coordinated management of this timber and mineral-rich region.
