1995 Map of Deep Creek Park

About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses the entirety of this mountainous landscape along the border of Cascade and Meagher counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages including Deep Creek, Temple Gulch, and Loblolly Gulch, which feed into the larger river systems of the region. While primarily a wilderness area, the map records the legacy of land use through labeled prospects and localized clearings such as Simmons Park. High elevations are anchored by Kings Hill Butte and Desolation Peak, while the central portion features the namesake Deep Creek Park. The presence of the Figure 8 Loop trail and numerous named springs like Robertson Spring indicates a landscape managed for both timber and recreation in the mid-1990s. The map also meticulously labels cadastral survey plots, identified as PB 37 through PB 41, which detail the specific land divisions within the forest boundaries.
