1955 Map of Salmon Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Klamath National Forest and Trinity National Forest dominate this rugged landscape, centering on the high peaks of the Salmon Mountains. During the early 1950s, this region remained a wilderness of deep canyons and isolated mining operations, connected largely by the Summit Trail and Horse Prairie Trail. The map records a dense network of historic gold and copper mining sites, including the Stanshaw Mine, Red Hill Mine, and Marysville (Site). These camps and sites, such as Old Denny, speak to a legacy of extraction along the Salmon River and its many tributaries like Knownothing Creek. The presence of the Trinity Summit Guard Station and several remote cabins, including Barton Cabin and Megram Cabin, suggests a landscape managed by foresters and inhabited by few, where high-altitude markers like Salmon Mtn and North Trinity Mountain served as the primary landmarks.
