1959 Map of Schell Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Schell Creek Range dominates this landscape, serving as a high-altitude spine between Spring Valley to the east and the watershed of Duck Creek to the west. This 1959 field-checked survey documents a transition in land use within the Humboldt National Forest, where traditional mining and ranching interests like the Success Mine and Peacock Spring exist alongside growing recreational and infrastructure developments. The presence of a Fish Hatchery and several youth camps, including Camp Success (Boy Scout) and a Girl Scout Camp, indicates the area's value for civic use and conservation during the late fifties. High-elevation peaks like North Schell Peak and South Schell Peak are mapped alongside a complex network of jeep trails and a prominent pipeline, reflecting the mid-century push for resource extraction and utility access through difficult terrain.
