1955 Map of Blue River

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Mining operations and timber management dominate this mid-century landscape in the Willamette National Forest. Several hard-rock mining sites appear in the northern reaches, including the Lucky Boy Mine, Cinderella Mine, and North Star Mine, along with the solitary Renfrew Grave near Renfrew Spring. The valley floor follows the course of the McKenzie Highway and the McKenzie River, where small communities like Blue River, Finn Rock, and Nimrod provide commercial hubs for the surrounding woods. Local infrastructure is marked by the McKenzie HS, multiple millponds, and the Holman Guard Sta. The network of waters including the South Fork McKenzie River and Quartz Creek suggests a reliance on river systems for both the timber industry at Lumber Camp and recreation at Rennie Landing.
