1940 Map of Mc Kenzie Bridge

About this map

The Middle Santiam River and Blue River define this high-country landscape within the Willamette National Forest, as surveyed in the mid-1930s. The map illustrates a period when resource extraction and early recreation coexisted along the western slopes of the Cascades. Mining activity is concentrated near the Linn Co and Lane Co border, featuring the Cinderella Mine, Rialto Mine, and Lucky Boy Mine. These operations, nestled near peaks like Tidbits Mtn, point to the region's early 20th-century economic drivers before the shift toward large-scale forest management.
