1955 Map of Lake O' Woods

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Harriman Lodge and Pelican Guard Station anchor the northwestern shores of Upper Klamath Lake, marking a period of established lakeside recreation and federal land management. This 1955 field survey reveals the complex hydrologic network of the southern Cascades, where the Rye Spur Canal and Cascade Canal divert waters through the high-elevation terrain. The landscape is defined by the volcanic topography of the Mountain Lakes Wild Area, featuring prominent summits like Whiteface Peak and Aspen Butte surrounded by a dense cluster of alpine basins such as Clover Lake and Lake Waban. Along the shores of Lake O' Woods, several youth and recreational sites including Camp Esther Applegate and Camp McLoughlin illustrate the mid-century importance of this area as a regional destination. The Skyline Trail traverses the western ridges, providing a vital link through the Rogue River National Forest for backcountry travelers before modern expansion.
