1951 Map of Lookout Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape of heavy mining activity and high-elevation prairie in central Oregon. Small-scale operations such as the Ochoco Mine, Independent Mine, and Round Mtn Mine are scattered across the terrain, indicating the era's mineral prospecting. The mapping of the Ochoco Ranger Sta and various lookout points like Lookout Mountain and Lutsey Pt underscores the administrative focus on forest management and fire prevention during this period. Local history is preserved in the location of the Simpson Place and the Nelson Monument, while the presence of a Cem and Old Kelly Mill speaks to the early settlement and industrial efforts within the mountain's shadow. This area is characterized by a network of springs and flats, such as Corral Flat and Grant Meadows, which likely supported the local cattle ranching tradition, further evidenced by the Sheep Corrals noted near the Ochoco Butte.
