1956 Map of Camp Nelson

Resource management and recreation are central to the area's character, evidenced by numerous groves of ancient trees like Red Hill Grove and Belknap Camp Grove. Family-named meadows such as Jacobsen Mdw and Holby Meadow indicate historical grazing patterns, while the Smith Mill and various Gaging Sta points reflect the region's industrial and hydrological value. The southwestern portion includes a significant section of the Indian Reservation, showing the convergence of federal, state, and tribal lands.
