1965 Map of Tower Rock

About this map

The Cispus River carves through the heart of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by federal land management and outdoor infrastructure. The map documents the Cispus Job Corps Conservation Center and its adjacent Trailer Park, alongside the North Fork Guard Station, reflecting the era's focus on conservation and workforce development. High-elevation vantage points like the Lookout on Burley Mtn and prominent landmarks such as Tower Rock and Tongue Mtn dominate the vertical relief. Water management and resource extraction are visible through a Gaging Station on the river and a Gravel Pit near the center's facilities. An extensive network of trails, including the Pack Trail, crisscrosses the slopes, connecting remote features like Lone Tree Lake to the river valley floor.
