2020 Map of Blue River

About this map

The Blue River settlement serves as a primary point of human interest within the Willamette National Forest on this 2020 map. Centered around the confluence of the McKenzie River and its eponymous tributary, the landscape is defined by the significant reservoir at Blue River Lake and the complex drainage systems of the Cascade Range. Local history is anchored by the presence of Renfrew Grave and Renfrew Spring near Quartz Creek, offering a precise point of interest for genealogists tracing early residents of this timber and river-focused region. The map captures a topography marked by distinctive peaks such as Buck Mountain, Gold Hill, and the uniquely named Thors Hammer and Deathball Rock. These labels, alongside the South Fork McKenzie River and Lookout Ridge, document a terrain where modern forest management roads like Natl Forest Develop Road 2620 RD intersect with natural landmarks.
