1961 Map of Mt. Jefferson

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Mount Jefferson stands as the dominant physical landmark on this mid-century survey of the Oregon Cascades, straddling the boundaries of Marion, Jefferson, and Linn counties. The map details a landscape defined by high-altitude glaciers like Waldo Glacier and Jefferson Park Glacier, draining into complex water systems including the South Fork Breitenbush River and Whitewater Creek. Human presence is largely tied to forest management and early recreation, evidenced by the Fish Hatchery and Guard Station at Marion Forks. The primitive infrastructure of the era is captured through routes like the Oregon Skyline Trail and Minto Driveway, which provided access to remote features such as Boca Cave and Pamelia Lake. This record preserves the location of specific forest landmarks including Flapper Springs Guard Station and the distinctive geological formation of The Table before modern development altered wilderness access patterns.
