1952 Map of Orleans

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The settlement of Orleans serves as a focal point in this mid-century survey of the Klamath River corridor, situated where the river makes a sharp bend near Bacon Flat. This region of the Klamath National Forest is defined by a network of ridges and gulches, including Rattlesnake Ridge and Soapstone Gulch, that historically supported a variety of small-scale mining and ranching operations. Names like the Hunter Little Ranch, Reece Homestead, and Short Ranch indicate family-held lands, while several work camps such as Bark Shanty Camp and Vans Camp are scattered across the high country near Bald Mountain. The presence of a Landing Field and a Ranger Sta in Orleans reflects the administrative and logistical management of these timberlands. The Siskiyou Trail and numerous unnamed trails provide the primary access into the steep drainages of Bluff Creek and Fish Creek, connecting remote landmarks like Onion Lake and the Prospect Hill Mine.
