1972 Map of Elkhorn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

High-elevation mining operations dominate this 1970s survey of the Elkhorn Ridge within the Whitman National Forest. The landscape is defined by its industrial history, specifically the tiered camps of the Baisley-Elkhorn Mine, with its upper, middle, and lower camps connected by a network of pack trails. Several other hard-rock sites, including the Highland Mine, Maxwell Mine, and Chloride Mine, dot the terrain north of Elkhorn Peak. Water management for these operations and the surrounding valleys is evident through the presence of a high-altitude aqueduct and multiple flumes near Nelson Creek. The drainage patterns are clearly marked, showing how systems like Goodrich Creek and Marble Creek flow from alpine basins such as Cougar Basin and glacial features like Rock Creek Lake.
