1954 Map of Pearsoll Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape along the boundary of Curry and Josephine counties. High-elevation lookouts and shelters define the backcountry infrastructure of the era, including the Silver Peak Lookout and the Pine Creek Shelter. The rugged network of drainages feeding the Illinois River and South Fork Illinois River reveals a history of resource extraction, evidenced by several dispersed mining operations. Prospectors and geologists can trace the locations of the Old Glory Mine, Chrome King Mine, and the Uncle Sam Mine tucked into the steep drainages. Remote homesteads like Fantz Ranch and McCaleb Ranch suggest the isolation of these mountain holdings, while the Siskiyou Trail and Tincup Pass provided critical transit across the divide near Pearsoll Peak.
