1983 Map of Dillon Mtn

About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through this portion of the Klamath National Forest, where steep terrain and narrow river bars defined the limits of human settlement. Along the river's winding course, early 1980s land use is marked by small pockets of activity such as the Ti Bar Forest Service Station and Dillon Creek Campground. The map records historical habitation at the Kennedy Homestead and the Cottage Grove (Site), suggesting a landscape where once-active homesteads and small sites were gradually reclaimed by the forest. The presence of a Cem and the curious Iron Phone marker near Kennedy Creek provides specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing the sparse population of this mountainous region. Numerous river bars, including Rattlesnake Bar and Persido Bar, highlight the importance of the river corridor for access and seasonal occupation.
