1985 Map of Loon Lake

About this map

Loon Lake and the surrounding Elliott State Forest define this landscape in the mid-1980s. The map captures the small settlement of Ash within Ash Valley, where Lake Creek flows through the central terrain. This area is a hub for recreation, featuring the East Shore Recreation Site, various Campgrounds, a Boat Ramp, and Picnic Areas along the water's edge. Notable natural landmarks like Beehive Rock and St Patricks Rock stand near the shoreline, while the higher elevations are marked by Michigan Pass and several lookouts, including a Lookout Tower and Radio tower. A network of water bodies, such as Soup Creek, Buck Creek, and Mill Creek, drains the timbered slopes. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of a Quarry near Craig Creek and the Fence Line trail, providing a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting both forestry and outdoor activities in Douglas County.
