1956 Map of Preston Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Preston Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-elevation landscape of the Siskiyou National Forest, straddling the border between California and Oregon. The survey reveals a network of high-country outposts and seasonal destinations including Porters Camp, Camp Chicago, and Bell Echo Camp, suggesting a mid-century period of active forest management and recreation. Transportation in this wilderness is defined by the Redwood Highway in the northwest corner, contrasted by numerous unnamed trails and a Jeep Trail that penetrate the interior. Notable geological and water features such as the Devils Punchbowl and the headwaters of the Middle Fork Smith River drain the rugged ridges. Local history is preserved in named sites like Poker Flat and Prescott Cabin, which provide evidence of earlier settlement or specialized mountain use during this era.
