1940 Map of Mc Kenzie Bridge

About this map

Foley Ridge and the upper McKenzie River corridor define this 1940s landscape, documented during a period when the high Cascades were primarily a domain of mountain resorts, mining claims, and forestry camps. The map traces the early recreational and industrial footprint along the river, highlighting the established settlement at McKenzie Bridge and the nearby Foley Springs resort. To the west, the mining history of the region is preserved through the locations of the Lucky Boy Mine, Cinderella Mine, and Rialto Mine near Gold Hill. Extensive trail networks and guard stations like the East Fork Guard Sta reflect the management of the Willamette NF. Numerous remote camps, including Shed Camp and French Pete Camp, along with isolated family landmarks like Cooks Ranch and Hardy Cabin, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking early twentieth-century activity in the Willamette National Forest.
