1980 Map of Kangaroo Mtn.

About this map

The Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest meet along the high ridges of Siskiyou County, where this 1980 survey documents a landscape of alpine lakes and dramatic vertical relief. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the center of the map, threading between high points like Desolation Peak and Kangaroo Mtn. This period of forest management is characterized by a network of established backcountry camps, including Bee Camp, Horse Camp, and the Cook and Green Campground along the Middle Fork Applegate River. Natural features like Hello Lake, Echo Lake, and Horsetail Falls are meticulously mapped alongside old mining Prospects in the southeast, suggesting the area's transition from early extraction to federal wilderness recreation.
