1952 Map of Orleans

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the intersection of Humboldt, Siskiyou, and Del Norte counties, where the settlement of Orleans serves as a remote hub. Surveyed in the early 1950s, this landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Klamath National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest. Small ranching and homesteading operations, such as the Reece Homestead and Hunter Little Ranch, are scattered near the river, while high-altitude outposts like Beans Camp and Vans Camp indicate a network of trails and seasonal activity. Mining activity remains evident along the river and its tributaries, with the Owl Mine and Perch Cr Mine located near the riverbank. The terrain is a complex of peaks and drainages, including the prominent Onion Mtn and the sheer Lonesome Bluff overlooking Nickowitz Creek.
