1956 Map of Quartzville

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Quartzville (Site) marks the location of a former mining community along Quartzville Creek, where early extraction efforts are evidenced by the nearby Albany Mine and Lone Star. Located within the Willamette National Forest, the landscape in the mid-1950s is defined by its industrial and administrative outposts, including several forestry stations such as the Yellowstone Guard Sta and the Quartzville Guard Sta. Transport across the drainage basins of Thomas Creek and Crabtree Creek relied on a network of jeep trails and footpaths, connecting remote high points like Monument Peak and Yellowstone Mtn Lookout. To the north, the corridor along the North Santiam River shows the established settlements of Mill City and Gates, while the eastern edge is dominated by the waters of Detroit Lake and Big Cliff Res, illustrating the region's managed water resources and hydroelectric potential during this era.
