1926 Map of Steamboat Mtn

About this map

The Cispus River valley and the high peaks of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest define this 1920s topography. The map documents a landscape of mountain infrastructure, characterized by several remote forest outposts like the Tower Rock Ranger Sta and Berry Patch Ranger Sta. The prevalence of named camps, including Buckhorn Camp, Stabler Camp, and Sled Camp, suggests a region defined by seasonal work and early forest management before widespread modernization. To the east, the ice-clad slopes of Mount Adams are detailed, showing the Adams Glacier and White Salmon Glacier. High-altitude water bodies such as Takhlakh Pond and Olallie Lake sit among prominent summits like Sunrise Peak and McCoy Peak, while the Williams Mine indicates the era's small-scale resource extraction in the southern reaches near Grand Meadow.
