About this map

Deschutes National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape west of Bend, where the timber and water management systems of the era are clearly documented. The map captures an intricate network of early forest access, including the Columbia Southern Road and various Jeep Trails. Of particular interest to local historians is the Old Railroad Grade, showing the footprint of historical logging operations that once moved timber through these mountains.

Water infrastructure is a focal point, with the Tumalo Canal and an Aqueduct traversing the terrain near Tumalo Creek. Land management and utility features such as the Check Tower and a Gravel Pit appear alongside recreation-focused landmarks like Shevlin Park and Fremont Meadow. Named topographical features like Triangle Hill and Swede Ridge provide essential context for the area's geological character during this period of development.
