1966 Map of Sandhill Crossing

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1960s, where the North Fork Sprague River and its tributaries like Boulder Creek and Paradise Creek carve through the Klamath and Lake County borderlands. The map documents a period when the timber and ranching history of the region is evident through remote outposts and livestock management points. Notable locations include the B K Corrals and the isolated Conrad Place to the north, while the Ryan Cabin sits tucked away near several nameless Springs. Geographically, the terrain is anchored by significant peaks including Black Butte and Green Mountain, descending toward the river valley where Sandhill Crossing provides a key point of transit and recreation at the Sandhill Campground. To the southeast, the protected slopes of the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness rise toward the summit of Gearhart Mtn.
