1987 Map of Harness Mtn

About this map

The Calapooya Divide serves as a prominent geographic spine in this 1987 survey of the borderlands between Lane and Douglas counties. This terrain is defined by its industrial activity and complex topography, centered around the Coast Fork Willamette River and Big River. Resource extraction is a central theme of the landscape, marked by the presence of the Black Butte Mine and its associated Mine Dump, alongside various gravel and borrow pits. The inclusion of the Sevenmile Mill and a Radio Facility on Harness Mountain suggests a region balancing timber production with modern infrastructure. For genealogists and local historians, the small Cem near the river fork and family-named landmarks like Alton Hill and Akerson Butte provide specific points of interest within the broader mountainous wilderness.
