About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the early 1970s, where volcanic activity and alpine water systems converge. Near the southern edge, the Mount Adams Wilderness preserves the transition from glaciers to forest, including a prominent field of Lava south of the South Fork Muddy Creek. This survey details the backcountry infrastructure of the era, from the Cat Creek Guard Station to the Midway Guard Sta, which supported the management of this remote timber and recreational resource.

Water is the central feature of the terrain, with the Cispus River flowing through the north while numerous high-mountain lakes like Takhlakh Lake and the Chain of Lakes dot the western slopes. A network of trails, including the Pack Trail and Scenic Trail, provided access for hikers and foresters between established campgrounds such as Spring Creek Campground and Killen Creek Campground. These routes followed the natural drainage of features like Adams Creek and Killen Creek, marking a landscape dedicated to wilderness preservation.
