1989 Map of Quail Prairie Mtn

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this 1980s landscape, where the Chetco River carves through the western reaches of the quadrangle. High points like Quail Prairie Mountain and its Lookout Tower provide panoramic views of a terrain defined by steep ridges and distinct natural clearings. This map illustrates the transition from managed forest land to the protected Kalmiopsis Wilderness in the east, marked by the Wilderness Boundary. Local geography is punctuated by evocatively named features such as Swede Heaven, Pollywog Butte, and Snaketooth Butte. The drainage network is dense, with Prairie Creek and Moores Creek feeding the primary river system. A few Quarry sites and a network of 4wd roads and trails highlight the limited human activity within this largely undeveloped mountain region during the late twentieth century.
