1964 Map of Big Baldy

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates the western half of this mid-1960s survey, where the high terrain of Big Baldy and Gilmore Peak slopes down toward the cattle country of Lake County. The map documents a classic Oregon high-desert transition, from the timbered heights of Little Baldy to the open ranch lands below. The presence of McDonald Camp (Site) and several active livestock operations like Mendell Ranch, Maxwell Ranch, and Hotchkiss Ranch reflects the enduring agricultural and forestry economy of the region. Water remains the primary resource for these remote operations, evidenced by the scattered Springs and the lush Augur Creek Meadows. A network of unpaved roads and a Jeep Trail provide the only access through this isolated landscape, crossing drainage systems like Thomas Creek and Bauers Creek.
