1949 Map of Green Mountain

About this map

The Klaskanine Fish Hatchery stands as a central landmark in this 1940s landscape, situated where the North Fork Klaskanine River and South Fork Klaskanine River converge. The area’s industrial character is defined by an extensive network of timber-related infrastructure, including the Nehalem North Fork Klaskanine RR and several repurposed pathways such as Glazers Grade and the Nehalem Barrel Grade. These transportation routes, along with various abandoned logging roads, trace the history of the timber industry as it moved through the drainages of Green Mountain and toward the Youngs River. Small localized settlements like Lilleas and Estoos provide evidence of rural habitation near the river forks, while Barth Falls marks a prominent natural feature along the water's course. The map documents a period when former rail grades were transitioning into the road systems that supported mid-century forest management and local commerce.
