1953 Map of Mt. Brynion

About this map

Timber harvesting and river valley topography dominate this 1950s survey of the Mt Brynion area. The landscape is etched with the infrastructure of the mid-century lumber industry, most notably a complex network of Logging Railroad and Private Logging RR lines that wind through the upland ridges. At the northern edge of the map, a central Headquarters facility serves as a hub for these rail operations, while the southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Coweman River. This river corridor includes functional markings such as a Gaging Sta and a Cable Crossing, reflecting the active management of the waterway. Steep terrain is drained by numerous tributaries, including Ostrander Creek and the South Fork Ostrander Creek, which carve deep valleys through the heavily contoured hillsides.
