1989 Map of Chrome Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Chrome Ridge and the surrounding drainages of the Siskiyou National Forest define this landscape in the late 1980s. The area is marked by a history of resource extraction, evidenced by scattered operations like the Barr Mine, Elkhorn Mine, and Counel Mine. These sites are tucked into steep canyons along waterways such as Briggs Creek and Maple Creek. Transport and recreation are carved into the terrain via locations like Freeland Saddle and Lone Tree Pass, while the Chrome Campsite and various picnic areas suggest the transition of this forest from a strictly industrial zone to one utilized for public recreation. A solitary Grave recorded near the northern ridge line and family-named features like Taylor Mountain offer quiet evidence of the individuals who lived and worked in these isolated mountain reaches. The complex hydrology is anchored by South Fork Taylor Creek and the expansive Swede Basin to the south.
