About this map

Figurehead Mtn stands as a central landmark within this 1980 survey, where the high-altitude boundaries of the Siskiyou National Forest, Rogue River National Forest, and Klamath National Forest converge at the Oregon-California border. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the Middle Fork Applegate River and Thompson Creek, and is marked by numerous alpine features such as Azalea Lake and Lonesome Lake.

Evidence of historical activity is preserved in the form of named sites and resource extraction markers, such as the Baileys Cabin (Site) and Mohawk Mine Gulch. The map meticulously details a network of movement through the high country via the Bee Flat Trail and various pack trails. These features, along with locations like Cameron Meadows Spring and Sugar Pine Camp, reflect the early twentieth-century reliance on backcountry cabins and spring water sources for forestry and prospecting work.
