About this map

Steinberg Ridge and Blind Ridge dominate the landscape of the Northern Oregon Coast Range in the mid-1950s, a period when the timber industry and forestry infrastructure defined the local geography. The map documents a network of logging history through locations such as Neverstill (Site), Camp One (Site), and Camp Five (Site), alongside active outposts like Sixteenmile Cabin and the Murphy Guard Sta. Fire prevention and management are evident in the placement of the Trask Mtn Lookout 3423 and High Heaven Lookout.

Water resources are central to the area's development, featuring the Haskins Cr Res and Meadow Lake. Significant landmarks like Haines Falls and Lee Falls on the Tualatin River appear near Cherry Grove, while the southern reaches contain the uniquely named Ball Bearing Hill. The topography is defined by the headwaters of several major river systems, including the North Fork Trask River and the Nestucca River.
