This is the junction of the original 1846 route of the Applegate Trail and the 1853 realignment of the trail laid out by road engineers from Siskiyou County. The original route goes due east from this point, and its traces are no longer visible. Westward from here, the route continues as FS Rd 46N05A to Green Tank and Fletcher Creek. The 1853 route goes southward for 0.3 mile as a still visible but very eroded trace, then continues southward for about 5 miles as FS Rd 46N02, where it turns eastward into Goose Lake Valley.
