1956 Map of Prospect

About this map

The Rogue River carves through a landscape of dense national forests and volcanic peaks in this mid-century survey of southern Oregon. The settlement at Prospect and the community at Union Creek serve as the primary hubs along Highway 62, which provides access to the northwestern boundary of Crater Lake National Park. The map documents a network of US Forest Service infrastructure within the Rogue River National Forest and Umpqua National Forest, including the Huckleberry Guard Station and an Abandoned Lookout atop Anderson Mtn.
