About this map

The high mountain divides of Siskiyou County are defined by the convergence of the Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest. This landscape is marked by a legacy of early settlement and resource extraction, evidenced by several cabin sites and inactive mining operations. Notable locations such as Eileen (Site), Johnsons Dairy (Site), and Lowdens Cabin (Site) indicate where high-altitude homesteads once existed near productive water sources like Reeves Ranch Spring.

Mining history is concentrated along the northern ridges, where the Blue Ledge Mine, Tin Cup Mine, and Boggs Mine were established. These claims are situated among prominent terrain features including Black Mountain, Nabob Ridge, and Scraggy Mtn. Modern recreation intersects with this history along the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the central mountains, passing through Bloomfield Pass as it follows the crest between the watersheds of Elliott Creek and Cook and Green Creek.
