1955 Map of Quartz Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Umpqua National Forest land defines this mid-1950s survey of Douglas County, where the South Umpqua River and Little River carve through a landscape of high lookouts and isolated ranching outposts. Remote administrative and fire-watch infrastructure is prominent, including the South Umpqua Guard Sta, Quartz Mtn Guard Sta, and several strategic observation points like Acker Rock Lookout and Coyote Point Lookout. Private holdings like the Erlsbach Ranch and Emerson Ranch sit near the riverbanks, representing the small-scale settlement presence in this timber-rich region. The map also traces a network of wilderness paths and shelters essential for early forest management and recreation, such as the Strouds Mine Trail, the Snowbird Shelter, and the curiously named Camp Coffee Pot. This snapshot precedes much of the modern road development, showing a reliance on trails and fire-watch stations.
