About this map

Paulina Mountains and the volcanic landscape of central Oregon dominate this late 1960s survey. Located within the Deschutes National Forest, the region is characterized by a high density of cinder cones and buttes, including the prominent Fuzztail Butte, Lava Top Butte, and Swamp Wells Butte. The topography reveals the intricate lava flows and volcanic debris that shaped this portion of Deschutes County, with features like Cinder Hill and the Cinder Pit highlighting the geologic utility of the area.

Industrial and transit traces are sparse but significant, centered on the Swamp Wells site and a network of unimproved tracks. The North Paulina Road and various Jeep Trails provide the primary access through the forest, connecting isolated points like Kwinnum Butte and Taghum Butte. This map captures a moment in the mid-20th century before significant modern recreational development, preserving the exact layout of forest service coordinates and remote landmarks.
