1954 Map of Copco

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Klamath River carves a central path through this Siskiyou County landscape, documented during a pivotal era of hydroelectric development. The terrain is dominated by high points like Bogus Mountain and Daggett Mtn, overlooking the waters of Copco Lake and the newly forming Iron Gate Reservoir. The map includes a significant notation showing areas intended for submergence by the Iron Gate Dam, offering a rare look at the original canyon floor before the reservoir reached its full elevation. Transportation and industry are anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, which passes through the small community of Ager. Rural life is marked by several neighborhood education centers, including the Willow Creek School and the Bogus Sch, as well as the Foothill Sch (Aban'd), indicating shifts in the local population. To the east, the boundary of the Shasta National Forest meets the rugged slopes of Black Rock.
