1988 Map of Soda Mountain

About this map

The Siskiyou Mountains straddle the state line in the late 1980s, where high ridges and secluded creek valleys define the border between Oregon and California. The landscape is marked by transit and recreation, featuring the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses over Soda Mountain and past Hobart Bluff. Small settlements and outposts like Lincoln and Mountain View appear alongside specialized infrastructure such as the Pinehurst State Airport and a Radio Tower. Local history is anchored by names like Schoolhouse Ranch and the Tubb Springs State Wayside, reflecting a region tied to both early ranching and the preservation of public spaces. The drainage systems of Keene Creek and its many tributaries, including South Fork Keene Creek and Lincoln Creek, reveal a complex watershed that once supported small-scale operations and seasonal navigation through the high country.
