1952 Map of Ship Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The remote interior of the Six Rivers National Forest is defined here by the confluence of the South Fork Smith River and the high ridges of the Klamath Mountains. In the early 1950s, this landscape supported small-scale mining operations and isolated ranching outposts. Landmarks such as the China Mine (Ora Grande) and a Chrome Mine point to the area’s geologic utility, while scattered family-named properties like Stevens Ranch, Wilson Ranch, and Alma Ranch indicate a sparse but persistent human presence in the river valleys. The southern edge of the survey reaches Klamath Glen near the Klamath River, where a Cem and Guys Ranch mark the transition toward more established settlements. Strategic infrastructure is visible through the Big Flat Guard Sta and a Lookout on a high peak, reflecting the essential role of fire oversight and land management in this heavily forested terrain.
