1986 Map of Blue Mountain

About this map

Mosby Creek and its many tributaries, including Simpson Creek and Palmer Creek, dominate this mountainous portion of Lane County during the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by its industrial activity and local landmarks, notably the numerous quarries scattered throughout the timbered slopes. In the northeastern corner, the Row River flows through a narrow corridor, marked by the Dorena Bridge (Covered) and the waters of Dorena Lake. Small settlements like Abrams and Perkins are situated along the creek beds, providing a window into the rural life of the western Cascades during this era.
