About this map

The Clackamas River and its numerous tributaries dominate this mid-century survey of the Mount Hood National Forest. The small settlement at Three Lynx serves as a focal point for activity, featuring a Powerhouse and Surge Tank that highlight the area's hydroelectric infrastructure. Forest management and recreation are central to the landscape, evidenced by the Oak Grove Ranger Sta, the Fish Creek Landing Strip, and numerous established sites like Lazy Bend Forest Camp and Fish Creek Forest Camp.

Resource extraction and transit are visible through the inclusion of a Sawmill and the Pipeline corridor running toward Silver Tip Camp. The topography is marked by several prominent summits and fire lookouts, including Fish Creek Mtn and Squaw Mtn, while natural features like Austin Hot Springs and Surge Lake point to the diverse geological and recreational character of the region during the mid-1950s.
