1967 Map of Oweep Creek

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this 1967 survey, revealing a high-altitude landscape defined by glacially carved bowls and an extensive network of alpine water. The drainage is anchored by the Lake Fork River and Oweep Creek, which gather runoff from numerous high-country lakes including Cleveland Lake and Stewart Lake. This map represents the area before modern wilderness management, focusing on the intricate topography of the Brown Duck Mountain region. High passes such as Cleveland Pass and East Basin Pass connect distinct geographic zones like Ottoson Basin and West Park, while established pack trails provide the primary means of navigation through the steep elevation changes. The presence of named clearings like Lambert Meadow suggests a history of grazing or seasonal use in these remote high-elevation basins.
