1955 Map of Surveyor Mtn

About this map

Surveyor Peak and Buck Mtn dominate this 1955 survey of the southern Cascade Range, where the high-altitude terrain transitions into the water-rich basin of the Klamath River. The map captures a mid-century landscape defined by logging and ranching operations, most notably the Lumber Railroad snaking through the Winema National Forest and the isolated 41 Ranch near the California border. A network of early motor ways, including the Green Springs Highway and Hayden Mountain Road, provides the primary connective tissue for this timber-producing region.
