1970 Map of Wood Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where deep drainages like Wood Creek and Ford Creek carve through the mountain front. This 1970 field-checked survey highlights a remote recreational hub at the Benchmark Airfield, serving as a gateway for backcountry access. Nearby, the Fly-in Campground and Wood Lake Campground suggest a mid-century period of developed forest service infrastructure. The map tracks a transition from the level expanse of the Fairview Plateau down to the steep, narrow corridors of the Hogback. Notable peaks such as Cyanide Mtn and Crown Mountain overlook a network of primitive routes including the Straight Creek Trail and Petty Crown Trail, which provided essential access for packing into Alpine Lake and the Elbow Pass during the early 1970s.
