1974 Map of Orleans Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Salmon River and Klamath River converge in this mid-1970s topography, revealing a landscape defined by gold mining history and rugged river terrace settlements. The eastern corridor along the Salmon River is particularly rich in mining heritage, showing the Indian Bottom Mine, Morehouse Mine, and the curiously named Sauerkraut Mine. Small riverside settlements like Indian Bottom, Butler Flat, and Donahue Flat sit on the narrow benches above the water, while the high peaks of the Salmon Mountains rise sharply to the west. The map also documents the fire detection and communication infrastructure of the era, including the Orleans Mtn Lookout and a nearby Antenna. The boundary between Six Rivers National Forest and Klamath National Forest runs through this terrain, marking the intersection of Humboldt and Siskiyou counties.
