About this map

Mining operations in the Bohemia Mining District define the landscape of this mid-century survey along the Lane and Douglas county line. The rugged peaks of the Cascade Range, including Fairview Peak, Bohemia Mtn, and Elephant Mtn, are dotted with historic extraction sites such as the Musick Mine, Helena Mine, and Noonday Mine. These sites represent the region's early industrial footprint, supported by a network of lookouts and administrative posts like the Musick Guard Sta and Laying Creek Ranger Sta.

Settlement is sparse and centered on seasonal or industrial outposts like Lund Park and Saddle Camp. The drainage network is complex, with Brice Creek and Steamboat Creek carving deep valleys through the Willamette National Forest and Umpqua National Forest. High-elevation features like Holland Meadows Road and Dinner Ridge Way provide narrow corridors through the timbered terrain, connecting remote camps like Cedar Creek Camp and Skeeter Camp to the more developed river valleys.
