2024 Map of Emigrant Lake

About this map

The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument dominates this modern landscape, preserving a complex intersection of terrain and hydrology. The southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the critical water infrastructure of the Emigrant Lake reservoir and Gibson Reservoir, fed by a network of seasonal and perennial streams including Emigrant Creek and Sampson Creek. Human history is woven through the topography, seen in the preservation of the Hill-Dunn Cem near the lake and the School House Meadow to the north, suggesting the locations of early rural gathering points.
