1989 Map of Hobson Horn

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this landscape along the boundary between Curry and Josephine Counties, where the drainage of the Indigo Creek system carves deep into the terrain. The map documents the intricate network of watercourses that define the region, including the North Fork and East Fork, as well as the prominent summit of Hobson Horn. Evidence of early back-country habitation is found at the Buck Camp (Site), located north of Buck Creek. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Shasta Ridge, while water sources such as Montana Spring provide crucial landmarks in the dense woods. This provisional survey provides a clear view of the wilderness before later development, showing a land characterized by creeks like Silver Creek and Brandy Creek and narrow passages such as Browns Gulch.
