Horseshoe Bend
In early days before the wagon road was made along the the Klamath River between Hornbrook and Fall Creek, the old road went out across the hills by Little Good Water to Hornbrook.
Near the east fork of Brush Creek there was a steep hill, so
the road made a sort of half circle, or horseshoe shaped turn to get up the hill, hence the name, Horseshoe Bend, for that area.
I remember going over that road for the first time
around fifty years ago with my father, with the team of horses and the big ranch wagon, on our way to Hornbrook after our supplies.
Traces of the old road can hardly be seen now.
In earlier years Horseshoe Bend was mentioned quite often by stockmen, but seldom heard any more.
Some of the old names seem to have gone with the old times, and this one has almost faded away also.
