Bohemia Mountain, Mountain summit in Oregon, United States.
Bohemia Mountain is a 5,994-foot (1,827 m) summit in the Cascade Range within Umpqua National Forest in Oregon. A trail crosses the mountain and leads to the summit, and east of the trail's end there is a viewpoint. The surrounding area includes the Bohemia mining district and the ghost town of Bohemia City.
The Bohemia mining district was named after James "Bohemia" Johnson, a Czech immigrant who found gold in the area in 1863. A gold mine and the settlement of Bohemia City were established in 1866, and saloons, hotels and residences grew up off the trailhead. A few buildings and some mining equipment remain from that settlement.
