About this map

Gold mining history and the reach of the Southern Pacific railroad define this section of Siskiyou County in the mid-1950s. The landscape is dominated by the steep ridges of the Klamath National Forest, where named claims like Humbug Mine, Mt Vernon Mine, and Scorpion Mine mark the persistent search for mineral wealth. The settlement of Yreka serves as the regional hub, complete with its County Fairgrounds, Municipal Airport, and local media outlets like Radio Tower KSYC.
