1988 Map of Santiam Junction

About this map

Lava flows dominate the western landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating a geologically active corridor where modern infrastructure meets the volcanic past. The confluence at Santiam Junction serves as the primary hub for transportation, supporting both a local Landing Strip and nearby Cinder Pits. To the east, the terrain transitions into the high wilderness of the Willamette National Forest and Mt Jefferson Wilderness, characterized by a dense network of high-altitude water bodies such as Duffy Lake and Santiam Lake. The map reveals the area's mid-century recreational development, featuring the Ski Lifts at Hoodoo Butte and several campgrounds. Notable landmarks like Sawyers Caves and Sand Mountain provide specific points of interest for those studying the intersection of natural volcanic features and the developing tourism and resource extraction industries of the Cascades.
