1955 Map of Hornbrook

About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the Klamath National Forest in this mid-century survey of the California-Oregon borderlands. The era's industrial activity is etched across the landscape, from the lumber operations at Hilt to the network of mines including the Cinnabar Mine and the Bumblebee Mine. Transport is dominated by the Southern Pacific railroad and the Pacific Highway, which follow the valley floors to connect the high-altitude settlements of Hornbrook and Cole.
