USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Mining operations and hydraulic water systems define this 1954 topographic study of the Siskiyou Mountains. The Sterling Mine and the elaborate China Ditch reflect a landscape transformed by extraction, with the Sterling Ditch winding through the hills above the Little Applegate River. Near the northeastern corner, Talent serves as a valley hub along the Southern Pacific railroad, while smaller settlements like Buncom and various family holdings such as Barr Ranch and Beaver Ranch are scattered through the rugged drainages.
