1997 Map of Mount David Douglas

About this map

Salt Creek carves a deep corridor through this high-elevation terrain in the late 1990s, serving as the primary transportation artery through the Willamette National Forest. The map documents the intricate relationship between the mountain landscape and the infrastructure built to navigate it, most notably the presence of multiple snowsheds and a Runaway Truck Ramp along the steep grades near Cruzatte. These features, combined with several quarries and the proximity of Mount David Douglas, indicate a landscape shaped by both rigorous forest management and the demands of heavy mountain transit.
