1962 Map of Emerson Peak

About this map

Emerson Peak and the high ridgelines of the South Warner Wilderness dominate this high-country landscape within the Modoc National Forest. The map documents a complex system of drainage headwaters, where the North Fork Creek, East Fork Creek, and South Fork Creek emerge from numerous springs like Cold Spring and Middle Fork Spring. The administrative footprint of the U.S. Forest Service is evident through the Patterson Guard Sta, while the presence of the Summit Trail and various jeep trails suggests the area's role in forest management and remote access.
