Pilot Rock - Soda Mountain 6089 Ft Elev
Pilot Rock Cascade-Siskiyou BLM BLM archives Rising 570 ft to an elevation of 5910 ft., Pilot Rock is perhaps the most striking feature of Cascade- Siskyou National Monument. Visible from much of the Shasta Valley in northern California and parts of Oregon’s Rogue Valley, the Rock serves as a friendly beacon to some five million vehicles and their passengers that travel the I-5 corridor annually.

48 OREGON WILD A Brief Political History of Oregon’s Wilderness Protections Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the Although the Forest Service pioneered the concept of wilderness protection in the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and trees in public parks. To say 1920s and 1930s, by the late 1940s and 1950s, it was methodically undoing whatever nothing of their values as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all good it had done earlier by declassifying administrative wilderness areas that contained the gardens and parks of town. any commercial timber. —John Muir1 Just prior to the end of its second term, and after receiving over a million public comments in support of protecting national forest roadless areas, the Clinton Administration promulgated a regulation (a.k.a. “the Roadless Rule”) to protect the Inadequacies of Administrative remaining unprotected wildlands (greater than 5,000 acres in size) in the National Forest System from road building and logging. At the time, Clinton’s Forest Service Protections chief Mike Dombeck asked rhetorically: here is “government protection,” and then there is government protection. Mere public ownership — especially if managed by the Bureau of Is it worth one-quarter of 1 percent of our nation’s timber supply or a fraction of a Land Management — affords land little real or permanent protection. fraction of our oil and gas to protect 58.5 million acres of wild and unfragmented land T National forests enjoy somewhat more protection than BLM lands, but in perpetuity?2 to fully protect, conserve and restore federal forests often requires a combination of Wilderness designation and additional appropriate congressional Dombeck’s remarks echoed those of a Forest Service scientist from an earlier era. -

Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of Southern Oregon and Northern California Field
Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of southern Oregon and northern California Students in SOU’s field geology course examining sandstones of the Rocky Gulch Member of the Hornbrook Formation near Hilt, California. Field Trip Leader: Bill Elliott Department of Geology, Southern Oregon University Saturday, September 8, 2007 Introduction The Klamath Mountains are an elongated north-trending geological province that occupies approximately 19,000 km2 in southwestern Oregon and northern California. The Klamath Mountains are made-up of numerous terranes that accreted during the Antler (Devonian), Sonoman (Permian to Late Triassic), and Nevadan (Jurassic to Early Cretaceous) orogenies (Mortimer, 1984). These terranes have been grouped into four metamorphic belts, from oldest (east) to youngest (west): Eastern Klamath Belt; Central Metamorphic; Western Paleozoic and Triassic; and Western Jurassic (Irwin, 1966; Irwin, 1994). In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, numerous magma bodies intruded the Klamath Mountains, including the Jurassic Mt. Ashland pluton and Early Cretaceous Grants Pass pluton (Hotz 1971; Gribble et al., 1990). During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, a subduction zone complex and forearc basin developed along the western margin of North America while folding and thrusting of Paleozoic and lower Mesozoic rocks associated with the Sevier orogeny triggered the formation of the Cordilleran foreland basin in the interior of North America (Figs. 1 and 2). The Hornbrook Formation (Upper Cretaceous) consists of a sequence of dominantly marine clastic sedimentary rocks about 1,200 meters thick exposed along the northeastern margin of the Klamath Mountains in southwestern Oregon to northern California (Fig. -

Siskiyou Summit Handbell Conference Class Offerings BE PREPARED! Score Preparation is the foundation for all you do as a ringer and a director! Ringers and directors of all skill levels will be guided through the steps of score preparation and study. Learn to see the score as more than just notes on the page. Be a total musician! Workshop Leader: Elizabeth Mays BRONZE COFERENCE CHOIR: Can’t get enough ringing and are comfortable ringing Level 4 music apply for the BCC. Rehearsals begin Friday afternoon at 4pm. Conductor: Ellie Hodder KEEP YOUR BATTERY CHARGED (B4C5‐AB5): Ringers in the Battery are the core of the handbell ensemble requiring that the they be aware of what is happening around them and the knowledge to respond musically to the melody line or rhythm section. Learn the ins and outs of ringing in the battery and the techniques you can apply to enhance your musicality. Workshop Leader: Diane Barnes THE MORE YOU KNOW THE MORE YOU CAN DO: Learn to adapt Weaving and 4‐in‐ Hand skills in all handbell ringing. Although these techniques often are referred to as “Solo or Small Ensemble Techniques,” the mastery of these techniques is useful in full‐ choir settings as it enables ringers to negotiate complex passages with ease, grace and musicality. This class assumes that the student has a basic knowledge of the Weaving and 4‐in‐Hand skills. Workshop Leader: Elizabeth Mays SPECIAL TECHNIQUES: DOTS, PLUSES, and ARROWS, OH MY: Come explore what all those extra symbols in your music mean and how to play them in a manner that is safe for your body, safe for your bells and ads to the musicality of the piece. -

Following a nation-wide economic trend during the year, the industry was off approximately $3 million from lost year's record-breaking high of $49.8 million, according to preliminary estimates mode by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. The heavy construction commodities, crushed stone and sand and grovel, reflected construction log and were responsible for most of the change from lost year. Metal mining, aside from nickel, was quiet. The state's only uronium mine and one of the two mercury producers shut down. Industrial mineral products showed both gains and losses as compared to the previous year. Cement production was up 12 percent while clays declined 15 percent and diatomite 3 percent. -

GEOTHERMAL and STRUCTURAL IMPLICATIONS of MAGNETIC Anomalies OBSERVED OVER the SOUTHERN OREGON CASCADE MOUNTAINS and ADJOINING BASIN and RANGE PROVINCE
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WILLIAM HENRY MCLAIN for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOPHYSICS presented on JULY 21, 1981 Title: GEOTHERMAL AND STRUCTURAL IMPLICATIONS OF MAGNETIC ANOMALIES OBSERVED OVER THE SOUTHERN OREGON CASCADE MOUNTAINS AND ADJOINING BASIN AND RANGE PROVINCE Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Richard W. Couch To assist in the assessment of the geothermal potential ofsouth- central Oregon and to aid in the understanding of the tectonicmode of transition between the Basin and Range province and theCascade Mountains province, personnel from the Geophysics Group in theSchool of Oceanography at Oregon State University conducted adetailed aero- magnetic survey extending from 42°OO' to 43°OO'N latitudeand 121000T to 122°45'W longitude. Spectral analysis of the aeromagnetic anomalies provided source- depth and depth-to-bottom calculations for south-centralOregon. The magnetic source-bottom depths were interpreted asCurie-point isotherm depths. Several regions with elevated Curie-point isothermdepths were mapped: (1) the Crater Lske area, (2) the Mount McLaughlin - Kiamath Lake area, and (3) the Sprague River Valley.The elevated Curie-point isotherm depths within these areas, asshallow as 4 to 6 km below sea level in the Mount McLoughlin - Klamath Lake areaand 5 to 7 kmbelow sea level in the Crater Lake area and theSprague River Valley, imply vertical temperature gradients in excess of70 °C/km and heat-flow values greater than 120mW/rn2 assuming a Curie-point temperature of 580 °C. A N40°W anomaly trend, observed on the totalfield magnetic intensity map and low-pass filtered anomaly maps, suggeststhe emplacement of volcanic intrusions occurred along apreviously umnapped fracture zone associated with Mount Mazama. -
