About this map

The Willamette National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which straddles the boundary between Linn and Lane counties. The topography is defined by the high elevations of Carpenter Mountain and Squaw Mtn, with the monolith of Wolf Rock standing near Wolf Meadow. This 1989 edition shows the intricate network of drainage systems feeding the South Santiam River in the north and the Blue River in the south, including Sevenmile Creek and McRae Creek.

A single Quarry in the northeast quadrant hints at local industrial activity within the heavily timbered Cascades. Landforms such as Twin Buttes, Jumpoff Joe Mtn, and Quentin Knob provide distinct navigational landmarks for surveyors and foresters alike. The map captures the area as it appeared in the late 1980s, documenting the natural drainages and peaks before later changes in forest management.
