1955 Map of Surveyor Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Surveyor Mountain and the high ridges of the Rogue River National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape where timber and water infrastructure define the economy. In the mid-1950s, a complex network of forest roads like Maggard Road and Pokegama Road supports the Lumber Railroad snaking through the northern hills. The southern reaches are marked by the Klamath River as it winds through the Big Bend, providing a vital corridor at the Oregon-California border. Settled areas are sparse, consisting of specialized locations such as 41 Ranch and the Boy Scout camp Camp Sa-wa-li-na-is. Local history is anchored by the Spencer Cemetery near the river and the Way Cemetery to the west, while numerous reservoirs like Griffith Reservoir and Potter Reservoir illustrate the importance of water management in this high-altitude terrain.
