1964 Map of Cox Flat

About this map

White King Mine and Lucky Lass Mine stand out as significant industrial sites within the Fremont National Forest during the mid-1960s. This survey of the Lake County backcountry reveals a landscape dedicated to both resource extraction and recreation, with a network of Jeep Trails connecting remote springs and campgrounds. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Cottonwood Reservoir, noted with a spillway elevation of 5072 feet, which manages the waters of Cottonwood Creek. Natural water sources are abundant throughout the high-elevation terrain, including Mammoth Spring, Boggs Spr, and Hunters Spring. The topographic detail highlights the sharp relief of Shingle Hill and the drainage patterns of Mesman Gulch, providing an excellent record of the region's geography before significant modern infrastructure was introduced.
