1985 Map of Aspen Lake

About this map

The Mountain Lakes Wilderness anchors this mid-1980s landscape within the Winema National Forest, revealing a cluster of high-elevation glacial tarns. Water bodies such as Lake Harriette, Echo Lake, and Hemlock Lake are concentrated in the northwestern sector, while the eastern edge is defined by the broad shoreline of Aspen Lake. The topography is dominated by significant peaks including Aspen Butte and Mt Harriman, with the latter marking the northern heights. Industrial activity is noted through scattered infrastructure like the Gravel Pit and Cinder Pit, contrasting with the surrounding protected lands. This survey provides a precise look at the transition from the wilderness peaks to the water's edge before late-century changes altered the forest and shore access.
