1959 Map of Schell Peaks

About this map

The high ridges of the Humboldt National Forest dominate this 1950s survey, defined by the towering summits of North Schell Peak and South Schell Peak. The landscape is a study in verticality, where deep drainages like Worthington Canyon and Ostergard Canyon carve through the Duck Creek Range toward the broad expanse of Spring Valley. Human activity is clustered around the precious water sources and mountain passes, including a Fish Hatchery near Duck Creek and several organized retreats such as the Girl Scout Camp and Camp Success (Boy Scout).
