1959 Map of Broken Top

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Broken Top and its high-elevation glaciers dominate the western edge of this Deschutes National Forest landscape. In the late 1950s, the area served as a primary recreational and natural resource hub, characterized by a network of backcountry shelters and seasonal camps such as Black Pine Spr Forest Camp and the Swede Ridge Shelter. High-altitude waterways including Green Lakes and Three Creek Lake are fed by the Bend Glacier and Crook Glacier, while lower-elevation features like Dutchman Flat show the transition toward the high desert. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the Egan Memorial Lodge near Sparks Lake. The map reveals the intricate water management of the era, documented through labels for the Highline Ditch and several gauging stations, alongside evidence of volcanic activity at Cayuse Crater and the local Cinder Pit.
