2001 Map of Yreka

About this map

Yreka and its surrounding mountain landscapes are detailed in this survey from the start of the 21st century, showing the established layout of the Siskiyou County Courthouse and nearby Siskiyou County Fairgrounds. The map documents a town defined by its gold-mining heritage, with extensive Dredge Tailings visible along Greenhorn Creek and Humbug Gulch. The northern settlement of Hawkinsville remains distinct, while industrial features like the Scorpion Mine and several gravel pits dot the high ground. To the south and west, the landscape transitions into the steep terrain of the Klamath National Forest, where peaks like Montana Peak and Bally Mountain overlook a complex network of drainages including Soap Creek and Juniper Creek. Local community spaces are well-represented, from the Evergreen Cemetery to recreational areas like Discovery Park and Greenhorn Park bordering the Greenhorn Reservoir.
