About this map

Mc Kenzie Bridge and the nearby settlement of Rainbow anchor this riverine corridor during the late twentieth century. The Mc Kenzie River serves as the central artery for the region, supported by infrastructure including the Cougar Dam and its associated Powerplant at Cougar Reservoir. The area is characterized by vast protected lands, notably the H J Andrews Experimental Forest and sections of the Willamette National Forest.

Evidence of the local recreation and timber economy is visible in the network of trails and resource management boundaries, such as the Mc Kenzie River Nat Rec Trail. Natural landmarks like Castle Rock and Macduff Mountain dominate the topography, while cultural features such as a Covered Bridge near Horse Creek and the Jennie B Harris Wayside State Park highlight the long-standing human presence in this Cascades landscape.
