About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this mid-1960s topographic study, revealing a high-elevation landscape defined by sharp ridges and isolated peaks. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Langille Ridge and Juniper Ridge, with numerous summits such as McCoy Peak and Jumbo Peak punctuating the skyline. At Yellow Jacket Pass, the map illustrates a critical point in the local topography where trail networks converge.

A network of drainage systems including McCoy Creek, Straight Creek, and Quartz Creek carve through the landscape, while evidence of human activity is found at a high-altitude Mine near Camp Creek and the Basin Camp in the south. The prevalence of Pack Trails and the Bear Creek Pack Trail suggests a wilderness management focus, providing a detailed look at the backcountry access points before modern developments altered the region.
