1956 Map of Blachly

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Siuslaw National Forest dominates this mid-century portrait of the Oregon Coast Range, where the drainage of Lake Creek creates a unique natural focal point at Triangle Lake. Near the lake, a local Log Pond and the Triangle Lake Sch suggest a landscape defined by the timber industry and small, self-contained communities. Small settlements like Blachly, Greenleaf, and Alpha are linked by winding mountain roads, while the southern portion of the map shows the corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad following the path of Wildcat Creek toward Walton. This 1950s survey documents a network of rural education and forestry management, including the Nelson Guard Station and several neighborhood schools such as Deadwood Sch and Siuslaw Sch. Local genealogy is anchored by the Lyons Cem and the Lyons Sch in the southeast, marking the persistence of family-named landmarks in the rugged terrain between Windy Peak and Badger Mtn.
