1967 Map of Chemult

About this map

Chemult serves as the central hub of this central Oregon landscape, where the Southern Pacific and Great Northern rail lines converge within the Winema National Forest. The map documents a corridor of transit and resource management, featuring the Diamond Lake (Siding) and infrastructure like a Pipeline, an Airway Beacon, and a Landing Strip near Beaver Marsh. Industrial activity is evident through several Quarries and a Pumice Pit scattered along the geological transition toward Walker Rim. This 1960s survey illustrates a forest-based economy in transition, where legacy infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade sits alongside active facilities such as a Ranger Station and Fire Sta, reflecting the post-war coordination of timber interests and federal land oversight.
