1954 Map of Collier Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the Curry County backcountry, where the Rogue River and Illinois River carve through high ridgelines. The map records a landscape of isolated outposts and fire observation points, including Wadhams Lookout, Game Lake Lookout, and Snow Camp Lookout. Local navigation in this era relied on established paths like the Gold Beach-Agness trail and the unique river-based Mailboat Route near Skookumhouse Butte. Small clearings and seasonal camps such as Wilson Cabin, Elks Camp, and Tolman Ranch reveal the sparse human footprint within the drainages of Lawson Creek and the Chetco River. This 1954 field check captures the forest service infrastructure and private homesteads before later developments, detailing remote geography from Big Craggies to the meadows of Wildhorse Prairie.
