1955 Map of Illahee Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The North Fork Umpqua River carves through the heart of the Douglas County backwoods, establishing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and seasonal shelters during the mid-1950s. The region is marked by a network of forest service infrastructure and historical camps such as Illahee Guard Sta and Island Forest Camp. High-elevation observation points like Johnson Butte Lookout and Chilcoot Mtn Lookout emphasize the era's reliance on stationary fire lookouts for wilderness management. Along the river, landmarks like Steamboat Point and the Power House indicate the early development of hydroelectric and water resources. The terrain is notably etched with family-named or descriptive features like Lemon Butte, Harding Butte, and Bona Fida Shelter, providing a detailed look at the backcountry pathways and remote homesteads used before modern road systems fully penetrated the southern Cascades.
