About this map

The Umpqua River and Rogue River headwaters converge in this high-altitude landscape during the mid-1950s. The region is defined by significant water management infrastructure, most notably the Clearwater Canal and Clearwater Trap Canal designed to harness the power of Watson Falls and Toketee Falls. These engineering works, alongside the Toketee Airstrip, reflect the mid-century industrial presence within the Umpqua National Forest.

Remote forest management is evident at the Big Camas Ranger Sta, while historical backcountry travel is documented through numerous trails and named shelters like Beaver Shelter. The terrain transitions into the northwestern corner of Crater Lake National Park near Crescent Ridge. Genealogists and historians can trace old forest service locations and CCC-era sites like Old Man Camp and the lookout at Rattlesnake Mtn.
