1982 Map of Bear Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the Kelsey Range creates a sharp divide between multiple watershed systems. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Clear Creek and its southern fork, which cut through the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. High alpine water features are clustered near the center of the map around the 5,740-foot Bear Peak, where Little Bear Lake, Lower Bear Lake, and Bear Lake sit in glacial cirques below the ridges. A lone Campground along Clear Creek and the presence of names like Slippery and Elbow Spring indicate the early recreational and logging access into this part of Siskiyou County. To the south, the Dillon Divide separates the North Fork Dillon Creek from the surrounding northern basins, illustrating the complex topography that constrained movement and land use in this wilderness area during the late twentieth century.
