Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range
The former Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range was created due to the U.S. Navy's desire to field aerial rockets during World War II. The Navy used the 7,040 acre parcel for strafing and dive bombing.
The Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range was developed by the U.S. Navy to provide an aerial gunnery range east of the Cascade Mountains in the winter, when other stations were inhibited by poor weather conditions.
The Siskiyou Rocket and Bombing Range ceased operations in 1946.
