About this map

Siskiyou Mountains terrain dominates this 1996 survey, where the high-altitude border between Oregon and California is marked by a network of peaks, glades, and remote ranching outposts. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southern portion of the map, crossing Maple Dell Gap and passing near Observation Peak. This landscape is defined by its water resources and mineral prospects, featuring isolated points of interest like the Grubstake Mine and Beaver Ranch.

The topography is characterized by a series of deep gulches, including Sulphur Gulch and Felix Gulch, which drain into larger systems like Elliott Creek. Named clearings such as Kettle Belly Glade and Sally Glade offer breaks in the forest cover, while high points like Dutchman Peak and Squaw Mountain provide significant landmarks for navigation along the crest. The map also delineates the shared boundaries of the Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest.
