1955 Map of Quartz Mtn

About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines this mid-century landscape in the southern Oregon Cascades, a territory organized around fire lookouts and high-elevation resource management. The map identifies critical watchpoints including Quartz Mtn Lookout, Acker Rock Lookout, and Coyote Point Lookout, reflecting the post-war emphasis on forest protection. Deep in the drainage of the South Umpqua River, small outposts like South Umpqua Guard Sta and Quartz Mtn Guard Sta served as hubs for backcountry activity.
