Harlow, William, Cabin

This log cabin stands in the Elliott Creek area of Siskiyou County, California, in Rogue River National Forest territory. The surviving paperwork consists mostly of correspondence about the nomination and mining claim records, and the full description and significance sections are missing. What the text does show is that the cabin is linked to placer mining along Elliott Creek, which the nomination's supporting material calls an integral part of its history and the main reason it exists. The cabin lies within the Evergreen placer mining claim, a 20-acre claim first located in 1979 and later amended. A survey noted in the papers puts the distance from the cabin's north side to the south side of Elliott Creek at about 700 feet. State reviewers asked for a clearer description, historic contexts for architecture, settlement and industry, a bibliography, and photographs of each elevation. Federal reviewers later found no major concerns or lack of documentation in the submission.
