1983 Map of Oakridge
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Oakridge and Westfir serve as the primary hubs in this high-altitude landscape of the western Cascades, where the Middle Fork Willamette River and its tributaries carve through deep timberlands. The economic infrastructure of the early 1980s is clearly defined by the Southern Pacific railroad line following the corridor of Oregon 58, passing through the communities of Minnow and Lowell. Major engineering projects are evident in the sprawling waters of Lookout Point Lake, Hills Creek Lake, and Dexter Res, which transformed the river valley. To the south, the rugged Calapooya Mountains reveal the region's mining history at Bohemia Mtn, featuring the Mayflower Mine and Musick Station. This map documents a transition in the Willamette National Forest, balancing industrial timber access with protected wilderness areas like the Three Sisters Wilderness and Diamond Peak Wilderness.
