1955 Map of Colton

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Colton and Old Colton sit at the heart of this mid-century Clackamas County landscape, where the transition from agricultural foothills to the dense timber of the Mt Hood National Forest is clearly visible. The survey details a network of early logging and access roads, including the numerically named Hundred Road, Three Hundred Road, and Four Hundred Road, which probe the drainages of the Molalla River and its North Fork. In the northern sections, rural communities like Highland, Upper Highland, and Dodge are mapped alongside local landmarks such as Highland Butte and the Hillockburn Guard Station. The presence of Camp Adams and Camp Colton indicates the area's use for organized recreation and forestry management, while the numerous millponds along Clear Creek and Nate Creek reflect a landscape defined by its timber and water resources.
