1967 Map of Cahill Mtn

About this map

Starvout Ridge and the deep incisions of the Patit Creek drainage define this landscape in the late 1960s. The map documents the northern reaches of the Umatilla N F, where the transition from high ridgeline roads like Kendall Skyline Road to the canyon floor reveals a rugged topography utilized for forestry and conservation. Researchers will find the identified Patit (Site) near the confluence of North Patit Creek and West Patit Creek, marking the location of a former settlement or established point in the valley. High-altitude infrastructure is represented by the Thorn Lookout Tower and markers like Pioneer Memorial Park, while the network of mountain routes, including Bruce Road and various jeep trails, shows the era's access points into the Cahill Mountain backcountry.
