1990 Map of Old Blue

About this map

Old Blue Lookout Tower stands as the primary landmark in this Douglas County landscape, surveying a network of deeply etched drainages. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where Little Camp Creek and Camp Creek converge from the west, while Belshazzar Creek and Hound Creek drain the southern reaches. The 1990 data reflects a working forest environment, evidenced by the presence of a Quarry and an extensive system of improved and unimproved roads. Notable heights like Rainy Peak provide significant relief above the creek beds, such as Lutsinger Creek to the north and Rader Creek to the southeast. This survey provides a clear view of the topographical transitions across the township lines of T 22 S through T 24 S, showing how these waterways dictated access and resource management in the late 20th century.
