About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this landscape within the Scott Bar Mountains, where the 1980s terrain remains defined by its gold mining legacy. Significant extraction history is visible through scattered operations like the Schroeder Mine, Hoboken Mine, and Cherry Hill Mine, while dredge tailings along the creek beds mark the heavy industrial processing of local waterways. The map preserves the locations of former settlements at Deadwood (Site) and Hooperville (Site), providing essential coordinates for researchers of Siskiyou County's pioneer-era habitation.

Water systems like the West Branch Indian Creek and Deadwood Creek carve through steep topography marked by prominent summits such as Indian Creek Baldy and Gunsight Peak. Infrastructure for the era includes the Deadwood Conservation Camp and a network of mountain passages like Schoolhouse Gap and Baldy Gap. This survey documents a transitional period where active forestry and conservation work exist alongside the physical remnants of the region's historic mining districts.
