About this map

Miller Lake serves as the central focal point of this 1967 survey, where the Umpqua National Forest meets the Winema National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and volcanic geography, featuring landmarks like Adell Butte, Howlock, and Red Cone. Along the western shore of the lake, Digit Point Campground and a network of Pack Trails indicate the area's development for recreation and backcountry access during the mid-20th century.

A significant historical marker, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts across the southern portion of the map, intersecting Cottonwood Creek and providing a rare surveyor’s record of tribal territories. The terrain is further detailed by numerous water sources, from the flowing Sink Creek to isolated points like Forked Horn Springs and Lower Swiss Spring, while the presence of Ginder Pit suggests local resource extraction in this high-altitude forest environment.
