1982 Map of Polar Bear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest and Klamath National Forest converge in this high-elevation mountain landscape along the Oregon and California border. The 1982 topography highlights a geography defined by steep drainages and prominent peaks, including Polar Bear Mtn, Black Butte, and The Lieutenants. Water features are abundant, from the East Fork Illinois River to secluded spots like Spring Kelly Lake and Mud Lake. Evidence of human activity is concentrated along remote routes like Packers Trail and scattered 4WD tracks, which connect sites such as Porters Camp and Bell Echo Camp. The presence of the Orloff Mine and several other unnamed prospects suggests a history of mineral exploration throughout the Sanger Canyon area. The intersection of three different counties—Josephine, Del Norte, and Siskiyou—makes this a unique reference for regional boundary history.
