1954 Map of The Whaleback

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Grass Lake and the high peaks of the eastern Klamath range dominate this mid-century survey of Siskiyou County. The landscape is defined by its industrial timber and transit infrastructure, where the Southern Pacific railroad parallels the main highway through the valley floor. Small outposts and labor sites like Penoyar, Leaf Camp, and the Hoffman Mill (Site) reflect the era's reliance on rail for moving timber from the surrounding Klamath National Forest.
