1990 Map of Kelly Butte

About this map

Kelly Butte Lookout Tower and Bateman 2 Lookout Tower anchor this high-elevation landscape in Douglas County, reflecting a period of active forest observation and resource management. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and prominent rises, including Bateman Ridge and the ominously named Agony Ridge. This 1990 provisional map captures the industrial and natural character of the area, where extractive sites like Bear Quarry and another unnamed Quarry sit near steep-walled canyons. Notable water features such as Juliano Lake Creek, Bull Canyon Creek, and Case Knife Creek carve through the ridges, showing a complex hydrological pattern. The map provides a precise view of the topography before significant modern changes, documenting the fire lookout infrastructure and logging-related access points that shaped this part of the Oregon Cascades.
