Notes: According to Jeff LaLande, Perk's Pasture was "named for a John or James Perkins (known as "Old Perks), a miner and packer on the trail between Jacksonville and Elliott Creek in the 1870s-1880s. He supposedly fenced this meadow with split-cedar rails and pastured his horses and mules there during the summer months."
