1965 Map of Medical Springs

About this map

Medical Springs serves as a focal point for this high-country landscape in the mid-1960s, situated where the terrain transitions from the timbered heights of the Whitman National Forest into the creek valleys below. The small settlement of Pondosa and the locality of Wisdom are linked by a network of unimproved roads and trails, including Beagle Creek Road, which follows the drainage of Beagle Creek. This area is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous water sources like Thorn Spring, Black Pine Spring, and Fisk Reservoir supporting the local ecosystem and any small-scale industry.
