About this map

The gold-mining legacy of the Klamath Mountains is etched into the landscape of this mid-1980s survey, where extensive dredge tailings and McAdam tailings follow the path of McAdam Creek Road. The map documents a geography of memory, specifically noting the locations of former settlements at Hooperville and Deadwood. A historical monument near the site of Deadwood further emphasizes the cultural importance of these nineteenth-century mining hubs.

Industrial activity is recorded through numerous claims including the Schroeder, Hoboken, and Golden Eagle Mine. The terrain is characterized by steep drainages like Tennessee and French Gulch leading down from the Scott Mountains. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive points such as Indian Creek Baldy and Gunsight Peak, while the lower reaches show water management systems like the Moffett and Pereia Ditch.
