1969 Map of Lake Penland

About this map

Lake Penland sits near the northern boundary of the Umatilla National Forest, serving as a central water feature for this high-elevation landscape in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the deep incisions of Ditch Creek, Mallory Creek, and Potamus Creek, which carve through the plateau. Evidence of seasonal management and habitation is found at the Ditch Creek Forest Service Station, while remote outposts like Groshen Cabin and McMurdo Cabin are tucked into the drainages.
