About this map

Abbott Butte stands as the central high point of this 1944 survey, overlooking a landscape defined by forest management and mountain commerce. The map documents the extensive network of the Umpqua National Forest, including the Dumont Ranger Sta and several fire prevention sites like the Bald Mtn Lookout. The presence of the Al Sarena (Buzzard) Mine and an identified Coalmine near Elkhorn Pk points to the area's mineral interests during the mid-century era.

Legacy family holdings are well-recorded through labels such as the Ash Homestead, Larson Place, and Art Moore Ranch, which sit alongside established logging or hunting camps like Five Sticks Camp and Freezeout Camp. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Jackson Creek and Elk Creek, reflecting a remote mountain economy where access depended on trails such as the Maverick Trail and Freezeout Trail.
