USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Fort Jones and the surrounding Scott Valley serve as the heart of this 1950s survey of Northern California. The landscape transitions from the agricultural valley floor, where small communities like Greenview and the interestingly named Cheeseville are established, into the dense timber and mining claims of the Klamath National Forest. The geography reveals a legacy of gold extraction, with numerous named mines such as the Golden Eagle Mine, Star Mine, and Oro Fino dotting the ridges of Chaparral Hill and the Mineral Range.
