1967 Map of Shannon Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Mad River carves through this northern California landscape within the Six Rivers National Forest, shaping a terrain defined by high ridges and isolated ranching outposts. During the late 1960s, the area's infrastructure supported both aviation at the Ruth County Airport and livestock operations at sites like Gilman Ranch and Double A Ranch. The map reveals a pattern of mid-century land use where named homesteads such as Yellowjacket Place, Shannon Place, and Crabtree Place were scattered across the flats and gulches, often near reliable water sources like Tub Spring or Water Trough Spring. Mining interest is represented by the Barry Creek Mine, while timber and transit are evidenced by a network of jeep trails and the Wildwood Road. In the south, the headwaters of the North Fork Eel River begin their descent, marking a significant hydrologic divide near Packwood Flat.
