About this map

The Klamath River winds through the southeastern corner of this mountainous landscape, serving as the primary corridor for human activity in the mid-1950s. Along its banks, small outposts like the Kennedy Homestead, Persido Bar, and the Ti Bar School mark a rugged river economy defined by scattered families and timber management. Higher in the mountains, the Kelsey Trail crosses the Kelsey Range, connecting the drainage of Clear Creek with the northern peaks. Lookout points at Baldy Peak Lookout and Pony Peak Lookout overlook the vast reaches of the Klamath National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest. The presence of the Siskon Mine near Rough Creek highlights the era's persistent mineral extraction, while isolated stations such as the Elf Guard Sta and Ti Bar Guard Station emphasize the region's primary role as managed forest land.
