About this map

Mt Wilson and the surrounding high country of the Mt Wilson Forest Reservation dominate this mid-century topographic study at the border of Clackamas and Wasco Counties. The map documents a landscape defined by forest management and historical transit, notably featuring the Barlow Road as it winds past various recreational and administrative outposts like the Bear Springs Ranger Station and Barlow Crossing Forest Camp.

A network of water resources including Salmon River, White River, and Clear Lake are meticulously mapped alongside distinct geological features such as Frog Lake Buttes and Little Crater Meadow. The inclusion of the Indian Reservation Boundary and specific survey markings like the (Mc Quinn Line) and (Campbell Line) provides critical data for those researching 20th-century land use and jurisdictional history in the Oregon Cascades.
