1962 Map of Badger Lake

About this map

Mt Hood National Forest terrain dominates this 1962 survey, revealing a landscape of high-altitude ridges and isolated mountain stations. The area is defined by the high elevations of Bluegrass Ridge and Elk Mountain, where the East Fork Hood River carves through the central valley. For local historians and researchers, the map provides precise locations for remote outposts like the Robinhood Guard Sta and Brooks Meadow Guard Sta, alongside high-country shelters such as Valley View Cabin. A network of early pack trails and forest roads, including the Gumjuwac Trail and Bennett Pass Road, connects several alpine water bodies such as Badger Lake and Jean Lake. These details illustrate the mid-century infrastructure managed by the forest service for fire lookout and recreational access.
