1960 Map of Fishhole Mtn

About this map

The high timberlands and volcanic peaks of Lake County are documented here during the early 1960s, a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Sprague River and its major forks. Remote outposts like Swede Cabin and Blaisdell speak to the region's logging and ranching heritage, while various family-held properties such as the Casebeer Ranch and Owen Ranch are scattered across the flats and valleys. An extensive Old Railroad Grade meanders through the central terrain, likely a remnant of the early 20th-century timber industry that once dominated these forests. Cultural history is visible in the Indian Petroglyphs found near the South Fork Sprague River, marking indigenous presence long before the establishment of the Fishhole Guard Sta. Peaks like Gearhart Mtn and Fishhole Mtn tower over a network of springs and reservoirs, including Lofton Reservoir and Lofton Lake.
