1962 Map of Emerson Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Patterson Guard Sta serves as a lonely human outpost in this high-altitude landscape where the Modoc Co Lassen Co boundary line traverses the mountain ridges. Surveyed primarily in the mid-1950s and field checked in 1962, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevations such as Emerson Peak and Hat Mountain, linked by a network of seasonal routes including the Summit Trail and various Jeep Trails. The water system is characterized by high-elevation catchments like Lost Lake and numerous named springs, such as Cold Spring and Middle Fork Spring, which feed into drainage basins like Silver Creek. The presence of Patterson Meadow and Corporation Meadow alongside the guard station suggests a history of forest management and seasonal grazing within the Modoc National Forest.
