1988 Map of Soda Mountain

About this map

Soda Mountain dominates the high-altitude terrain of the southern Siskiyou Mountains in this 1980s-era survey, where the border between Oregon and California cuts across a landscape defined by seasonal creeks and steep ridges. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the central portion of the sheet, passing near Hobart Bluff and Hobart Pk. Notable human activity is clustered near the northern edge of the map at Lincoln, which includes Lincoln Station and a nearby radio tower. Historically significant sites such as Schoolhouse Ranch and the Tubb Springs State Wayside reflect the area's legacy of early ranching and travel stops along the mountain passes. The presence of the Pinghurst State Airport at Mountain View underscores the remote necessity of air access in this high-country region, while drainage patterns like Keene Creek and Oregon Gulch dictate the local topography leading toward Agate Flat.
