1984 Map of Roman Nose Mtn

About this map

The rugged divide between the Siuslaw River and the Smith River drainage dominates this Oregon landscape, anchored by the high peak of Roman Nose Mtn. Surveyed in the late 1970s and published in the early 1980s, the map reveals the complex drainage patterns of the Siuslaw National Forest, where steep ridges separate waterways like Kentucky Creek and Leopold Creek. A small Cem and Quarry suggest the human footprint within these timberlands, while the Southern Pacific line follows the river corridor at the northern edge. Recreational development is evident at the Whittaker Creek Recreation Site and Linslaw County Park, marking the transition from industrial forest use to public access during this era. The boundary between Lane Co and Douglas Co cuts across these ridges, tracing the natural topography of the Coast Range.
