1964 Map of Shoestring Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Fremont National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, centered on the high-elevation terrain of the Lake County interior. The Chewaucan River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous water sources including Paddy Spring and Cannon Spring. The map documents a specialized infrastructure of federal land management and communication, featuring the Shoestring Butte Lookout Tower and the Thomas Creek Work Center in the southern reaches. Higher peaks like Round Mountain Radio Facility suggest the era's reliance on strategic high-ground for regional signal transmission. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through these timbered uplands, connecting isolated landmarks like Doe Mountain and the distinctively named Jack and Jenny Buttes.
