1986 Map of China Mtn

About this map

China Mountain and the surrounding high country of the Scott Mountains anchor this 1980s landscape, where the administrative lines of the Shasta and Klamath National Forests converge. The terrain is defined by its hydrology, with the South Fork Willow Creek and West Fork Parks Creek draining the steep slopes. High-elevation water bodies like Crater Lake and West Park Lakes are prominent, while historical land use is signaled by a lone Grave near Willow Creek and scattered mining activity. Industrial history is evident through numerous prospects and the Dewey Mine, alongside evidence of early resource management like the Ditch in the northern valley. More isolated human presence appears at Houston Cabin and the destination at Stewart Springs in the eastern reach of the quadrangle.
