1954 Map of Mt. Emily

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Chetco River carves a deep valley through the northern reaches of the Siskiyou National Forest, defining the geography of this coastal Oregon interior in the mid-1950s. Settlement is sparse and largely concentrated near the riverbanks and small prairies, evidenced by the Upper Chetco Sch and remote outposts like Tamba Ranch and Bravo Ranch. The map reveals a landscape managed for both preservation and utility, featuring the Alfred A Loeb State Park alongside high-elevation fire infrastructure like the Bear Wallow Lookout. Unusual place names such as Swede Heaven and Pollywog Butte dot the ridges, while the Crisey Airport sits near the coastline just north of the Oregon California state line. This survey captures a specific era of forest management and early recreation prior to more intensive modern development.
