2011 Map of Crescent NE

About this map

Forest management and timber access define this landscape in the northern reaches of Klamath County. The terrain is indexed by an extensive network of United States Forest Service transit routes, including Nfd 9775 Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 9780, which branch across the high-elevation topography. These National Forest Development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 9772 and Nat For Dev Rd 9410, illustrate the mid-20th-century approach to land development and resource extraction in the Oregon Cascades. The survey shows a landscape largely devoid of permanent residential settlements, instead focusing on the infrastructure required to navigate and maintain these public lands. Map collectors and researchers can use this 2011 record to trace the exact alignment of access ways like Nat For Dev Rd 9407 and Nat For Dev Rd 400 as they existed before subsequent seasonal changes or forest service updates.
