1954 Map of Mt. Emily

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Chetco River and Winchuck River systems carve through this heavily forested region of Curry County during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by its numerous prairies—openings in the timber such as Looking-glass Prairie, Yank Prairie, and Horse Prairie—which likely served as early focal points for grazing and settlement. Evidence of local ranching is preserved at Bravo Ranch and Tamba Ranch, while the Upper Chetco School reflects the presence of a rural community gathered near the riverbanks. High ridges like Backbone Ridge and peaks including Mt Emily overlook the dense canopy of the Siskiyou National Forest. Along the southern reaches near the California border, the Grissey Airport and protected groves within Redwood State Park mark the transition toward the coast and the settlement of Harbor.
