1923 Map of Sawyers Bar

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Gold mining operations and remote mountain outposts dominate this early 20th-century survey of the Salmon Mountains. Centered on the settlement of Sawyers Bar, the landscape is defined by the steep drainages of the North Fork and South Fork Salmon River, where a dense network of claims such as the Black Bear Mine, Highland Mine, and King Solomon Mine reveals the intense mineral extraction of the era. The presence of the Forks of Salmon Mining Co and the Jumbo Mine underscores the industrial scale of work occurring alongside small family-named landmarks like Edie Ranch and Godfreys Ranch. This survey captures a moment when education reached deep into the wilderness, evidenced by the Russianville School, Somes Bar School, and Rollin School, serving the families of miners and ranchers isolated by the surrounding Klamath National Forest.
