1983 Map of Emigrant Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Emigrant Lake serves as the focal point of this Jackson County landscape, where the waters of Emigrant Creek are managed by an intricate system of infrastructure including the Ashland Lateral and an inverted siphon. The 1980s terrain reflects a mix of high-altitude ranching and water resource management, evidenced by sites like the Walker Sheep Camp and the Barron Mine Water Tank. While recreation thrives at the Emigrant Lake Co Rec Area and Sanger Wayside, the surrounding ridges like Salt Ridge and Green Springs Mountain remain marked by a history of hard-scrabble land use. Genealogists and local historians can find traces of early settlement at the Henry Ranch, Cove Ranch, and the aptly named School House Meadow. High-country trails such as the Pacific Crest Natl Scenic Tr wind through the eastern peaks, crossing through Hooper Meadows and past Babe.
