1942 Map of Ginger Peak

About this map

The Siuslaw National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing the remote timberlands of the Northern Oregon Coast Range during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Trask River and the Nestucca River, with numerous tributaries such as Killam Creek and East Fork Trask River carving through the steep terrain. Human activity is largely concentrated along the river valleys and the Wilson River Highway, which provided a critical transportation link through the mountains.
