1923 Map of Sawyers Bar

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The North Fork Salmon River and South Fork Salmon River converge in this rugged section of the Klamath National Forest, where the lode mining era of the early twentieth century is still in full swing. Local industry is anchored by extensive operations such as the Forks of Salmon Mining Co and a dense network of claims including the King Solomon Mine, Black Bear Mine, and Bloomer Mines. Remote mountain life is evidenced by small outposts like Sawyers Bar and Cecilville, supported by a scattering of local institutions including the Russianville School and Somes Bar School. This 1913-era topography documents the complex human footprint in the Salmon Mountains during a period of heavy mineral extraction, tracing old pack trails and ranch sites like Edie Ranch and Godfreys Ranch that once connected these isolated mining camps.
