1970 Map of Mount Jackson

About this map

Mount Jackson towers over a high alpine landscape within the White River National Forest, where late-twentieth-century surveys recorded an intricate network of glacial lakes and high peaks. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines such as Holy Cross Ridge and the Gold Dust Basin, reflecting a wilderness accessible primarily via the Pack Trail system. Significant water features like Mystic Island Lake, Treasure Vault Lake, and Lake Charles dot the high elevations, feeding into drainage systems like Cross Creek and Halfmoon Creek.
