1953 Map of North Bend

Genealogists and local historians can trace the footprints of lumber and mill towns such as Selleck, Barneston, and Kerriston, some shown as sparse footprints against the rising terrain of Rattlesnake Mt and Lookout Mtn. The detailed mapping of the Cedar River corridor near Cedar Falls and the Mountain Tree Farm Center highlights the region's historical role in resource management and power generation, while landmarks like Rattlesnake Ledge and Little Si mark the emerging recreational character of the valley.
