1963 Map of Mount Bachelor

About this map

Mount Bachelor dominates this mid-century survey of the high cascades within the Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is defined by its volcanic geology, featuring prominent peaks such as Tot Mountain, Kwolh Butte, and Tumalo Mountain. Water drainage is represented by Sparks Lake in the northwest and the winding course of Dutchman Creek to the east. Human passage through this high-elevation terrain is marked by the Cascade Lakes Highway and a network of specialized routes, including the Edison Ice Cave Trail. Evidence of local resource extraction appears at the Cinder Pit near the southern boundary. This edition incorporates 1960s field data with photorevisions from 1981, showing the early infrastructure of this recreation and wilderness area before modern development intensified.
