1978 Map of Medicine Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Klamath National Forest and the Marble Mountain Wilderness define this high-elevation landscape in the late 1970s. The topography is dominated by steep drainages feeding into Wooley Creek, including Dead Horse Creek and the evocative Hell Hole Creek. High ridges such as Steinacher Ridge and Hell Hole Ridge separate these deep canyons. Human presence is limited to remote outposts like Bear Skull Camp and Hamilton Camp, which serve as waypoints along an extensive network of unnamed pack trails. In the southeastern corner, a cluster of high-altitude water bodies including Clear Lake, Lost Lake, and Lily Lake provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding ridges. The map captures a moment of wilderness preservation, documenting the indefinite wilderness boundary as it existed following the mid-1970s field checks by the U.S. Geological Survey.
