1968 Map of Crook Peak

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this 1968 landscape in Lake County, where high ridges and significant volcanic peaks define the topography. The terrain is marked by prominent summits including Crook Peak, McDowell Peak, and Twelvemile Peak, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages and named springs like Military Spring and Drake Spring. The map reveals the infrastructure of remote forest management and fire lookout history, particularly with the Drake Peak Lookout and the North Warner Viewpoint. Several resource extraction sites are noted, such as a Cinder Pit near Aspen Cabin and various borrow pits used for local road maintenance. Water sources are critical in this high-elevation environment, with the Mud Creek Spring and Walker Springs providing essential points of interest for historical land use and early surveying.
