The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument holds both outstanding natural as well as cultural significance. Among the prominent natural features of the monument is Pilot Rock, a volcanic neck similar to Devils Tower of Wyoming. Soda Mountain Wilderness is a wilderness area within the national monument located adjacent to the California state border.

The cultural significance of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument lies in the remains of some 100 prehistoric Native American dewllings and root-gathering sites within the monument, chiefly by the Modoc, Klamath and Shasta tribes. These tribes were uprooted by the arrival of white settlers to the area in the 1880's.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
