About this map

Mc Kenzie River white water and dense timberlands define this 1989 portrait of the Willamette National Forest. Centered on the settlement of McKenzie Bridge, the map reveals a landscape managed for both utility and recreation, where Cougar Dam regulates the Cougar Reservoir and a high-voltage Transmission Line cuts through the forest south of Rainbow. The presence of the Mc Kenzie Covered Bridge and another Covered Bridge on Horse Creek highlights the local engineering heritage of Lane County.

Outdoor recreation is prominent, with the McKenzie Bridge Campground and Harris Wayside State Park situated along the riverbanks, while a Golf Course sits just north of the water. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Castle Rock and Lookout Mtn, overlooking a network of drainages including Lookout Creek and Owl Creek. This survey captures the region as it balanced its identity as a recreational gateway and a vital hydroelectric and timber corridor.
