1954 Map of Chetco Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mid-1950s terrain, revealing a landscape defined by its remote outposts and the Chetco River watershed. The map documents a network of isolated structures, including Madstone Cabin, Bailey Cabin, and Emily Cabin, which likely served as seasonal shelters for forest rangers or miners. High points like Chetco Peak and Vulcan Peak provide the topography for fire management, indicated by the Chetco Lookout and the VABM McGrew Cleopatra Lookout further south. The boundary between Curry and Josephine counties follows the high ridgelines, while Cottonwood Camp and Sourdough Camp suggest established stopovers for those navigating the backcountry. This era represents a time when accessibility was limited to specialized stations like Bain Station and rugged forest trails before modern road development.
