1966 Map of High Divide

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest converge at the state line in this mid-1960s survey of the northern California border. The High Divide forms a prominent ridge separating the drainage basins of the Winchuck River and Rowdy Creek to the west from the Smith River system to the east. This landscape is a record of early mountain transport and resource extraction, characterized by a network of primitive routes like the Wimer Road and Jeff Trail that once served remote mining operations. Local history is deeply tied to these extractive efforts, with the map identifying the Mountain View Mines, Alta Mine, and the Copper Creek Mine. A curious natural or cultural landmark, Hole-in-the-Ground, sits near a mine of the same name, while the Stone Corral (Site) suggests an earlier era of livestock management along these high ridges.
