1954 Map of Chetco Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest spans this mid-century landscape where the Chetco River and the North Fork Smith River carve through the Klamath Mountains. The survey, field-checked in 1954, reveals a remote wilderness infrastructure of fire management and early recreation, anchored by the Chetco Lookout and the Cleopatra Lookout. Isolated outposts like Madstone Cabin, Bailey Cabin, and Emily Cabin are scattered along the drainage basins of Brokenoot Creek and Hawk Creek, suggesting a period of intensive forest service activity or early mining exploration. In the southern portion near the California border, Sourdough Camp and Bain Station mark transit points near Oregon Mountain. The map detail follows the complex hydrological network of the Little Chetco River and various high-elevation water bodies such as Vulcan Lake and Babyfoot Lake, reflecting the era's focus on mapping timber and water resources in the Pacific Northwest.
