This USGS topographic map of the Dorris quadrangle in northern California was first published as a 1950 edition and printed in 1965, drawn at a scale of 1:62,500 from aerial and field surveys of 1948 and 1950. Covering a stretch of Siskiyou County near the Oregon line, the area takes in the town of Dorris, the community of Mount Hebron, and portions of the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. The green woodland tint and 40-foot contours map the high country south of the Klamath Basin. Never folded, on thick stock in excellent condition.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Dorris 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1948 and 1950. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
