1955 Map of Sawyers Bar

About this map

Sawyers Bar serves as the primary hub of this high-elevation landscape, where the North Fork Salmon River and South Fork Salmon River define the deep drainage patterns of the Klamath National Forest. The 1955 survey captures an era when mining remained a tangible part of the local geography, as evidenced by a high density of claims such as the Wilson Mine, Snoozer Mine, and Star of the West Mine. These operations are clustered around the river forks and deep gulches, often accessed by remote cabin outposts like the Ahlgren Cabin and Tom Taylor Cabin.
