1972 Map of Elkhorn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Highland Mine and the complex of Baisley Elkhorn Mine workings anchor this high-elevation survey of the Baker region, reflecting the significant hard-rock mining legacy along the Elkhorn Crest. The map reveals a high-altitude landscape where industrial ambition met steep terrain, evidenced by several ruins and mine sites scattered between Hunt Mountain and Marble Point. Water management is a primary theme, with a sophisticated system of high-mountain storage and conveyance including Willow Creek Lake, Goodrich Lake, and the Pine Creek Reservoir. Downslope, a network of ditches and a flume trace the effort to move water from the snow-fed peaks of the Whitman National Forest to lower-lying valleys. In addition to the mining infrastructure, the map documents the National Recreation Trail and various jeep trails that provided access to remote locations like Eilertson Meadow.
