1956 Map of Preston Peak

About this map

Preston Peak stands at the center of this 1950s survey, a high-altitude landscape where the borders of Siskiyou National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest, and Klamath National Forest converge. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Middle Fork Smith River and South Fork Smith River, alongside the East Fork Illinois River to the north. While largely devoid of permanent towns, the area is dotted with remote outposts and seasonal sites including Porters Camp, Chicago Camp, and Bell Echo Camp.
