1954 Map of Collier Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in the Klamath Mountains, where the drainage of the Rogue River and Illinois River meets a network of remote fire lookouts and seasonal cabins. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and high prairies, such as Wildhorse Prairie and High Prairie, which were accessed via an extensive system of pack trails and the Gold Beach-Agness Road. Grounded in a 1952 aerial survey, the map shows several isolated homesteads and forest service outposts, including Tolman Ranch on the Chetco River and the Mistatnah Lookout, which is already noted as abandoned by the mid-1950s. This survey records a specific era of mountain stewardship, marked by lookouts like Game Lake Lookout and Snow Camp Lookout that monitored the dense timberlands before modern reforestation and fire management practices fully transformed the backcountry access.
