1955 Map of Colton

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Colton and Old Colton anchor this mid-century Clackamas County landscape, where the foothills meet a complex system of drainage and small-scale industry. The presence of multiple Millpond labels along Buckner Creek, Nate Creek, and Milk Creek points to a legacy of timber processing and local water management. To the north, the upland settlements of Highland and Upper Highland sit near Highland Butte, while the southern reaches are dominated by the significant elevation of Big Hill and the lower-lying Green Mountain. This period shows a well-established network of rural communities, including Timber Grove and Clarkes, connected by early routes such as Unger Road and Dhooge Road. The map also captures specialized land uses like Camp Colton, featuring its own Swimming Pool, and Camp Adams, reflecting the area's role as a recreational and community hub for the region.
