About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the Siskiyou Mountains in this early twentieth-century record of northern California. This survey identifies a network of mining operations and small settlements along the river's edge, reflecting the region's heavy reliance on gold extraction and ranching. The presence of Hughes Mine, Classic Hill Mine, and the Siskiyou Mines near Happy Camp highlights the persistent industrial activity in these canyons decades after the initial gold rush. Small social hubs are visible in the form of rural schools like the Lowden School and Nolton School, alongside family-run operations such as Johnsons Dairy. Transportation is largely dictated by the water, featuring points like Gordons Ferry, while the northern border is clearly defined by the California Oregon Boundary Line.
