1978 Map of Sawyers Bar

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Sawyers Bar serves as the focal point of this mountainous region within the Klamath National Forest, where the Salmon River carves through the terrain. The map documents a landscape defined by its mining heritage, particularly evident along the river's path and its contributing gulches. Traceable features include Dredge Tailings near Bestville (Site) and a concentration of lode operations like the Black Bear Mine and Red Hill Mine. Higher elevations are marked by the Marble Mountain Wilderness and the Blue Ridge Lookout Tower. The settlement pattern reflects the area's isolation and rugged character, with family-named locations such as Burn Ranch and Godfrey Ranch providing a rare human footprint among the steep ridges of Humpback Ridge and Blue Ridge.
