About this map

Lake of The Woods and Buck Lake anchor this 1980s landscape at the boundary of the Rogue River National Forest and Winema National Forest. The map documents a seasonal recreation and conservation hub, featuring established sites such as Camp Esther Applegate, Low Echo Camp, and the Sunset Campground. These landings and camps reflect the long-standing use of the high-altitude lakes for summer activity and youth education.

The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Mountain Lakes Wilderness, a landscape defined by peaks such as Crater Mtn and Whiteface Peak, alongside small alpine waters like Lake Waban and Avalanche Lake. A network of forest roads and trails connects localized resources like Ichabod Spring and Rainbow Springs, while the low-lying Desolation Swamp highlights the varied hydrology feeding into Spencer Creek.
