1955 Map of Culp Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Row River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and industry in this mid-1950s survey of eastern Lane County. Communities such as Dorena, Culp Creek, and Disston are linked by the Oregon and Eastern Railroad, which follows the river's path into the foothills. The landscape is defined by its transition from valley floor to the high peaks of the Umpqua National Forest, where fire lookouts like Shirley Gay Lookout and Huckleberry Lookout occupy strategic high ground. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Broumbaugh Cem and the Dorena School, while high-altitude features like Lower Elk Meadows and Silica Camp indicate the reach of resource management and early recreation into the mountain interior. The map illustrates a developed logging and rail economy, with numerous creeks—including Brice Creek and Sharps Creek—draining the timber-rich slopes that define the region's character.
