1989 Map of Fourth of July Creek

About this map

Ludlum Place (Site) stands as a notable point of human interest within the dense drainage basins of the Siskiyou National Forest during the late 1980s. This survey focuses on the intricate headwaters of the Winchuck River and its numerous tributaries, including Emily Creek and the East Fork Fourth of July Creek. The landscape is dominated by steep terrain rising toward Elk Mountain and Packsaddle Mountain, providing a clear record of the watershed patterns before further modern development. The northeastern corner reaches into the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, where an indefinite boundary separates the protected area from the surrounding forest. Historians and researchers can trace the old access routes and ridge-lines like Bear Ridge that defined movement through this corner of Curry County.
