1986 Map of Panther Rock

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this mid-1980s terrain in Siskiyou County, where the high mountain geography of the Cascade Range is defined by a complex network of seasonal creeks and high meadows. The upper reaches of the Little Shasta River and Shovel Creek carve through a landscape of prominent peaks, including Panther Rock and Willow Creek Mtn. Human presence is largely tied to forest management and backcountry recreation, evidenced by the Lodgepole Forest Service Station and the remote Kucks Cabin near the northern boundary. The mapping captures a network of forestry roads like Dairy Road and Smith Spring Road that provide access to higher elevations. Points of interest for local history include the Martin Dairy Campground and numerous named water sources such as Little Shasta Spring and Cold Bottle Spring, which have long served as vital stops for those navigating this timbered territory.
