In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt established the 1.1 million
acre Siskiyou Forst Reserve. In 1907, Congress designated
this reserve as the Siskiyou National Forest. The name Siskiyou, is
a Chinook-Cree Indian word meaning "bob-tailed horse" and refers to
a horse lost during a fur expedition to this area in the early
1800's. Gold was discoverd in Southwestern Oregon in 1852. Small
mining camps grew into towns. Today, many areas reflect their
history with names like Gold Beach, Illinois Valley, and Bear Camp. This
map also includes the Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District.
