1922 Map of Preston Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which was surveyed in 1915 as a rugged frontier of mining and early ranching. The Smith River and its numerous forks carve through steep ridges like Ship Mountain Ridge and Monumental Ridge, creating a geography defined by isolated bars and camps. Historic mining operations, including the Cleopatra Mine and Higgins Copper, highlight the area's extraction history, while scattered habitations like Washington Ranch and Herrington Ranch indicate where early settlers found footing in the river valleys.
