1955 Map of Condrey Mtn

About this map

Klamath River flows through this mid-century survey of the Siskiyou mountains, marking a landscape defined by isolated settlement and mineral extraction. The small community of Horse Creek and the Klamath River PO serve as local hubs near the Klamath River School, while the surrounding timbered slopes are dotted with high-elevation lookout points like Dry Lake Lookout and Collins Creek Baldy Lookout. The map reveals a significant mining history, particularly in the southern reaches where the K C Mine, Golden Age Mine, and Commodore Mine are situated among the steep drainages of McKinney Creek. Transport across this difficult terrain relied on a network of trails and the Walker Bridge, while the presence of the Oak Knoll Ranger Sta highlights the active management of the Rogue River National Forest. Remote outposts such as Whites Cabin and Miller Glade underscore the area's history of ranching and early mountain homesteading.
