1959 Map of Schell Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Schell Creek Range dominates this mid-century topographic study, standing between Steptoe Valley to the west and Spring Valley to the east. This era of land management is represented by several recreation and service sites, including the Berry Creek Guard Sta, Berry Creek Forest Camp, and both a Girl Scout Camp and the Camp Success (Boy Scout) camp. The presence of a Fish Hatchery along Duck Creek and a Landing Strip in the eastern flats suggests a landscape utilized for both resource management and remote accessibility. High-altitude markers like North Schell Peak and South Schell Peak anchor the central ridge, while the Success Mine and various jeep trails indicate a history of mineral exploration and rugged traversal. Water sources are meticulously noted, ranging from Gallagher Spring in the north to the North Master Spring in the south, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns through canyons like Ostergard Canyon and Water Canyon.
