1986 Map of Burnt Mtn

About this map

The Calapooya Divide defines the high-altitude boundary between Lane and Douglas Counties, separating the headwaters of several major creek systems in this mid-1980s survey. The landscape is dominated by multiple prominent peaks, including Burnt Mtn, Fawn Peak, and Green Mtn, while the southern slopes descend toward the North Fork Calapooya Creek. The presence of numerous Quarry labels across these ridges indicates a period of active resource extraction, likely supporting the network of logging roads that lace through the timbered terrain. Notable topographic landmarks such as Lower Elk Meadows and Upper Elk Meadows sit just north of the divide, while the steep drainage of Box Canyon and the sharp turn at Cougar Bend illustrate the challenging geography of the Western Cascades. These features, along with named points like Kellys Bluff and Shirley Gap, provide specific reference points for tracing historical land use in this timber-rich region.
