1955 Map of Dillon Mtn

About this map

The Klamath River carves through the eastern edge of this mid-century forest survey, serving as the primary corridor for human activity in this secluded region of the Siskiyou Mountains. Along its banks, small clearings such as Ti Bar and Cottage Grove mark the sparse habitation of the era, punctuated by local landmarks like the Ti Bar School and the Kennedy Homestead. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Six Rivers National Forest, Klamath National Forest, and Siskiyou National Forest, where the boundary between Del Norte and Siskiyou counties follows the high ridges of the Siskiyou Mountains. High-altitude features including Bear Lake and Harrington Lake sit tucked below peaks like Dillon Mountain and Sawtooth Mountain. Historical transportation routes like the Kelsey Trail and various unpaved paths connect remote outposts such as Dillon Camp and the Elk Guard Station, while mining activity is evidenced by a Shaft Mine near the rugged slopes of Blue Nose.
