1954 Map of Selma
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Selma and the Illinois River valley dominate this mid-century portrait of southern Josephine County. The map documents a landscape defined by small roadside settlements and a legacy of extraction, where the Redwood Highway connects communities like Dryden, Wonder, and Love Station. The survey illustrates a shift in land use, noting the Spaulding Mill (Site) and various mining operations such as the Eureka Mine and Ramsey Mine scattered throughout the surrounding heights of Onion Mtn and Eight Dollar Mtn. Local family history is grounded in features like the Deer Creek Cemetery and the Grange Hall near Dryden. The network of Jeep Trail routes and creek crossings, including Deer Creek and Briggs Creek, reveals the intricate access points used for logging and mining throughout the Siskiyou National Forest.
