1995 Map of Kelsay Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

North Fork John Day River carves through this remote stretch of the Blue Mountains, marking a landscape defined by forestry and high-elevation meadows in the mid-1990s. The map reveals a network of seasonal outposts and camps including Cold Spring Camp, Lower Cougar Camp, and Battle Creek Camp, which served as hubs for backcountry activity within the Umatilla National Forest. The presence of the Welch Creek Mine and a Quarry near Kelsay Meadows indicates a history of resource extraction, while the Wilderness Boundary protects the primitive character of the North Fork John Day Wilderness. Prominent landmarks such as Kelsay Butte and Winom Butte rise above the complex drainage systems of Simpson Creek and Winom Creek, providing essential orientation for those navigating the numerous trails through Lost Horse Meadow and across the footbridge crossings.
