1966 Map of Coffeepot Creek

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the character of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape of high-elevation drainages and seasonal water sources in Lake County. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology feeding into Coffeepot Creek, with numerous named springs such as Coffeepot Spring, Puppydog Spring, and Cold Spring sustaining the local ecosystem. Evidence of human passage and land use is preserved in the location of Scissors Cabin and the route of the Hanan Trail, which traverses the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from the steep drainages of Elder Creek and Witham Creek to the more open expanse of Coffeepot Flat. A small Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet indicates localized extraction efforts, likely for road maintenance within the forest's network of unimproved dirt tracks.
