1996 Map of Grayback Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Grayback Mountain and Big Sugarloaf Peak dominate the high-elevation terrain along the boundary of the Siskiyou National Forest and Rogue River National Forest. This 1990s record captures a landscape defined by rugged peaks and the deep drainages of Grayback Creek, Sturgis Fork, and Sucker Creek. The map documents evidence of historical human activity in these remote areas, from the mining history at Mountain View Mine and Arnold Mine to the remnants of the Browntown settlement. Shelters and habitations like Krause Cabin, Deoman Cabin, and the Sucker Creek Shelter are scattered throughout the forests, often situated near vital water sources like Miller Lake or Hinkle Lake. The inclusion of the Red Buttes Wilderness highlights the region's protected character along the Oregon-California state line, where high-country meadows like Elkhorn Prairie break the timberline.
