1964 Map of Cox Flat

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this landscape in southern Oregon, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by a network of drainage creeks and isolated springs. The map documents industrial activity in the mid-1960s, specifically at the Lucky Lass Mine and White King Mine, alongside numerous prospects that indicate the mineral exploration of the period. This area of Lake County reflects a transition from resource extraction to recreation, as evidenced by the established Thomas Creek Campground and Irishmans Campground. To the south, the Cottonwood Reservoir stands as a significant hydrological feature with its spillway elevation noted at 5072 feet. A single domestic footprint, Garrett Place, remains tucked along Thomas Creek, while the broader terrain of Cox Flat and surrounding ridges are traversed by a series of high-clearance jeep trails.
