1968 Map of Commodore Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Abert Rim dominates the western edge of this High Desert landscape, where the dramatic elevation drop leads into the arid expanse of Alkali Flat. This 1968 survey reveals a terrain defined by high-altitude water sources and complex drainage patterns, with Commodore Ridge serving as a central spine. The settlement of Foley sits at the headwaters of Foley Creek, while numerous small water bodies like Skookum Lake, Dog Lake, and Feather Bed Lake are scattered across the plateau. The eastern half of the map is marked by the distinct Hogback formation and the winding path of Rabbit Creek. Remote access is indicated by the network of tracks labeled as Jeep Trail, suggesting the seasonal nature of activity in this part of Lake County. The mapping of Twin Lakes and Soup Lakes underscores the vital role these alpine basins played in an otherwise dry volcanic environment.
