1955 Map of Dillon Mtn

About this map

The Klamath National Forest and Siskiyou National Forest converge in this mid-1950s survey of the Klamath River watershed. The map documents a sparsely populated landscape where human activity is defined by fire lookouts and isolated homesteads. Significant landmarks include the Kennedy Homestead and the Cottage Grove settlement near the riverbanks. The local economy and infrastructure of the era are reflected in the presence of the Ti Bar School and scattered mining operations such as the Sisson Mine and Blue Nose Mine.
