1962 Map of Crank Mountain

About this map

The Modoc National Forest landscape in the early 1960s was defined by a complex network of seasonal camps, administrative outposts, and timber access routes. Isolated homesteads and seasonal sites such as the Old Hulbert Place, Gerig Camp, and Allen Camp are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the region's legacy of ranching and forestry. The presence of the Happy Camp Guard Sta and the Radio Facilities Lookout atop Happy Camp Mtn underscores the area's importance for fire suppression and communications during this era.
