1960 Map of Bly

About this map

The Sprague River serves as the central artery for this timber and ranching landscape in southern Oregon, where the Oregon California and Eastern Railroad tracks follow the river's bend toward the settlement of Bly. This 1960s era view highlights the importance of the lumber industry to the local economy, noting the Ivory Pine Mill (Site) and the Bly Airstrip just outside of town. Much of the surrounding area is defined by the Fremont National Forest, encompassing high points like Ferguson Mountain and Horsefly Lookout.
