About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in the late 1980s, where the drainages of Wiley Creek and the Calapooia River dictate the local geography. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Buck Mountain, Green Butte, and the namesake Farmers Butte. The survey identifies several industrial and resource-extraction sites, including a Quarry near Buck Mountain and multiple Borrow Pit locations, reflecting the ongoing management of forest service roads and local infrastructure.

Hydrological features are particularly dense, with Cascade Falls marking a significant point along Wiley Creek. Further south, the Calapooia River is fed by numerous tributaries including McKinley Creek, Barrett Creek, and Washout Creek. This map captures a specific moment in the management of the Green Mountain Ridge area, showing the network of forest roads that provided access for both logging and recreation before later shifts in Pacific Northwest forestry practices.
