1955 Map of Hardesty Mtn

About this map

Lookout Point Reservoir dominates this mid-century landscape in the Willamette National Forest, following the 1953 aerial survey of the region. The map documents a critical period of infrastructure development along the Southern Pacific rail line, which skirts the reservoir's northern edge through small sidings and settlements like Minnow and Crale. Near the southeastern corner, the mill town of Westfir is shown in detail, including the location of the Westfir HS and the rail terminus near the North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River.
