South Road - Forks Of The Yreka Trail
"All in need of provisions were supplied by a government
agent at this camp. Near this point the road forks-one
leading to Jacksonville, in Oregon, and the other to
Yreka, Northern California."
James Cowden, Oct. 2, 1853

Yreka Trail - The Trail Forks
"This morning the volunteers considered us out of danger
and—left us to go on alone-we had tolerable good road.
Four miles from camp we came to where the Oregon Trail
strikes off to the right."-George McCowen, Aug 27, 1854
