1955 Map of Saddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Saddle Mountain and the surrounding coastal ranges of Northwest Oregon appear here during the mid-1950s, a period defined by the industrial timber economy. The landscape is marked by an extensive Logging Railroad network and numerous forest service installations like the Salmonberry Guard Station and the Forest Service Side Camp. Small rural communities such as Jewell, Elsie, and Vinemaple are connected by the Sunset Highway, which cuts through the mountainous terrain. Local life is centered around institutions like the Hamlet Grange and Sunny Hill Cemetery, while the preservation of the landscape is seen in the early boundaries of Saddle Mountain State Park and David Douglas State Park. The map captures a transition where the timber-rich hillsides are deeply etched with fire lookouts and trails, including the Tidewater Summit and the remote outpost of Camp Olson near the Clatsop and Tillamook county line.
