1956 Map of Summit Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Summit Lake lies at the high divide of the Oregon Cascades, where the headwaters of major river systems converge. This mid-century survey captures a landscape of intense hydraulic management and recreation, evidenced by the Lemolo Reservoir and the Umpqua Canal winding near Lemolo Falls. The map documents a critical infrastructure era when forest camps like Emigrant Forest Camp and Lake Cr Forest Camp were establishing the region as a recreational destination. The convergence of three national forests—Willamette, Deschutes, and Umpqua—highlights the area's importance for timber and water resources. High-altitude crossings like Willamette Pass and Windigo Pass facilitate movement through the peaks, while the Skyline Trail traces the spine of the Calapooya Mountains, connecting isolated features like Dread and Terror Ridge and Pumice Flat.
