1956 Map of High Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mt Hood National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by forestry management and the emergence of recreational infrastructure in the Cascades. The expansive Timothy Lake serves as a central landmark, surrounded by several newly established campsites such as Hood View Campground and Gone Creek Campground. The map details the intricate network of fire prevention and backcountry access, featuring the High Rock Lookout and Wolf Camp Butte Lookout, alongside the historic Oregon Skyline Trail. These features reflect an era when the forest was transitioning from a purely industrial timber resource to a major destination for camping and hiking. Natural landmarks like Salmon Butte and Little Crater Lake are documented alongside specialized sites like Shellrock Forest Camp and the remote Pot Cr Cabin, illustrating the deep reach of federal forest administration into the Clackamas County backcountry.
