1939 Map of Saddle Mountain

About this map

C C C Camp Jewell sits near the eastern edge of this coastal range landscape, a site of Civilian Conservation Corps activity during the late Depression era. The Nehalem Highway and the developing Wolf Creek Highway provide the primary transit corridors through the heavy timber and high peaks of the Oregon Coast Range, connecting small outposts like Jewell, Elsie, and Hamlet. The terrain is dominated by the prominent peaks of Saddle Mtn and Humbug Mtn, while the North Fork Nehalem River carves a winding path through the southern half of the sheet.
