1978 Map of Dees Peak

About this map

The Salmon - Trinity Alps Primitive Area dominates this late-1970s topography, revealing a landscape defined more by former human activity than current habitation. This portion of the Klamath National Forest and Trinity National Forest preserves the sites of vanished mining camps and outposts. Researchers can trace the legacy of resource extraction through the locations of the Sherwood Mine, Hunter Mine, and Cinnabar Mine, as well as the ruins of the White Rock City (Site) and Marysville (Site). The map provides a detailed look at the rugged northern California interior, where numerous pack trails and trails connect remote points like Emmons Cabin and Milk Camp. The intricate drainage systems of New River and North Fork Eagle Creek are mapped alongside local landmarks such as Mary Blaine Mtn and Potato Mtn, offering a clear picture of the region's complex terrain and historical footprint.
