1955 Map of Chucksney Mtn

About this map

Willamette National Forest dominates this mid-1950s survey, revealing a high-altitude wilderness shaped by volcanic buttes and primitive forest service infrastructure. The landscape is characterized by a network of seasonal high-country meadows or "prairies," such as Grasshopper Prairie and Salt Rock Prairie, which historically served as key landmarks for rangers and early travelers. Essential management outposts are scattered throughout the terrain, including the Mule Mtn Lookout and the Box Canyon Guard Sta, reflecting the era's reliance on manned stations for fire detection and forest administration.
