1960 Map of Morena Reservoir

About this map

Morena Reservoir and the adjacent Morena Village form the centerpiece of this mid-century survey of the Cleveland National Forest back-country. The landscape is defined by its water management and forestry infrastructure, from the Los Pinos Mtn Lookout watching over the high ridges to the Corral Canyon Forest Sta and the Morena Conservation Camp. Significant drainages like Cottonwood Creek and Hauser Creek carve through the canyons, while the Marine Memorial near Hauser Canyon provides a specific point of local historical interest. Transportation in this era relied on a network of unpaved tracks and trails, including the Pine Creek Trail and Stokes Valley Road, alongside a small Airstrip to the east. The map records the Normal Pool Elevation 2954 of the reservoir, illustrating the area’s role in regional water storage during the late 1950s.
