1922 Map of Preston Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest and Klamath National Forest dominate this 1915 survey of the borderlands between California and Oregon. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the North Fork Smith River and its various tributaries, including Monkey Creek and Shelley Creek. This era of the Klamath Mountains was characterized by isolated mountain ranches and gold mining operations along the river bars. Researchers can identify early commercial and transit points such as Gasquet Adams Sta, Patrick Creek Station, and Washington Ranch. The map also captures the Cleopatra Mine near the northern boundary and the Terwer School in the south, illustrating the sparse but established community infrastructure that served miners and homesteaders before the modernization of the Pacific Highway system. High peaks such as Preston Pk and Sanger Pk provide a framework for the rugged topography of the region during the early twentieth century.
