2011 Map of Bennet Peak

About this map

Bennet Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in Union County, where complex hydrology and forest recreation define the terrain. The presence of Traverse Lake Dam and Echo Lake Dam indicates early 21st-century water management within these remote highlands, feeding a dense network of watercourses including Eagle Creek and Copper Creek. Human presence is primarily represented through seasonal campsites and forest service infrastructure, with West Eagle Camp, Two Color Horse Camp, and Forks Forest Camp serving as focal points for backcountry access. The map reveals a transition from open alpine spaces like West Eagle Meadow and Cougar Meadows to the dramatic relief of Bench Canyon and Copper Creek Falls. Historically significant for its forest management and outdoor recreation heritage, the area remains crossed by vital routes such as Eagle Creek Rd and Big Creek Rd.
