1955 Map of Blaine

About this map

Blaine and the surrounding timberlands of the Siuslaw National Forest define this mid-1950s landscape in Tillamook County. The map details a rugged interior dominated by the drainage basins of the Trask River and the Wilson River. Evidence of a working forest and local community is visible through features like the Nestucca Grange Hall and the Trask Guard Station. Remnants of early transportation routes, including the Old Toll Road and Chance Road, cross the ridges between peaks like Edwards Butte and Ginger Peak. Higher elevations are marked by remote installations such as a Lookout on Hembre Ridge. Smaller enclaves and clearings, such as Hollywood Camp, The Peninsula, and Detrick Ranch, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the Oregon Coast Range before more modern development altered these rural corridors.
