About this map

The South Fork Santiam River and the South Fork McKenzie River carve through this section of the Willamette National Forest, as surveyed by H. H. Hodgeson and C.A. Stonesifer in the early 1930s. The landscape is defined by isolated outposts and early mountain infrastructure, from the riverside settlement at Nimrod to the Blue River Guard Sta. Local history is preserved in the locations of pioneer-era holdings like Sims Ranch, Cooks Ranch, and Hardy Cabin.

The presence of Cascade Resort and Belknap Springs indicates the region's early 20th-century development as a destination for leisure and wellness. High-altitude travel is documented via the Skyline Trail and crossing points such as Tombstone Pass. This survey captures the transition from a wilderness of named peaks like Wolf Rock and English Mtn to a managed forest with established camps like French Pete Camp and Westside Camp.
