1984 Map of Baldy Mtn

About this map

Baldy Mtn rises above a landscape dominated by the Siuslaw Nat For, where the upper reaches of the North Fork Smith River and Middle Fk Smith River converge near the Lane Co Douglas Co line. This 1984 provisional survey illustrates a managed forest landscape, defined by a network of logging roads and resource extraction sites such as the Quarry near North Fork Falls. The drainage patterns are complex, with steep-walled canyons like South Canyon and prominent ridges such as Hand Ridge dividing various tributaries. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered sites like the Barrow Pit and Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's timber and infrastructure needs in the late 20th century. High points including Mt Grayback and Table Rock serve as landmarks within the dense canopy, while named waterways like Sweet Creek and Kentucky Creek carve through the deep terrain of the Oregon Coast Range.
