1956 Map of Summit Lake

About this map

The high Cascades of the Calapooya Mountains and the headwaters of the North Fork Umpqua River define this mid-century topographic study. Spanning the boundaries of the Willamette National Forest and Umpqua National Forest, the map captures a landscape dedicated to early forest management and recreation. Numerous campgrounds, such as the Summit Lake Forest Camp and Emigrant Forest Camp, are situated near glacial lakes and the historic Emigrant Pass. The geography is characterized by high-elevation features like Dread and Terror Ridge and the volcanic terrain of Pumice Flat. Infrastructure for hydropower and water management is visible at Lemolo Lake, which features a Dam, a Gaging Sta, and a Generator near the dramatic Lemolo Falls.
