1997 Map of Orleans
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
The Klamath River carves through the heart of this terrain, anchoring a landscape where small-scale homesteading and mineral extraction met within the Six Rivers National Forest. In the late 1990s, the settlement of Orleans remains the primary hub, situated near the H.E. Beck Jr Memorial Br. The map reveals a legacy of industrial activity along the riverbanks, evidenced by Dredge Tailings and the Bonda Mine tucked into the gulches. Family-named sites like the Hunter Little Ranch, Reece Homestead, and Dyer Place illustrate the scattered history of land use in this part of Humboldt County. Local genealogy and burial records are preserved at the Orleans Ukonom Cem, while the surrounding mountains, including Sarvorum Mountain and Black Mountain, define the steep boundaries of the river canyon.
