1988 Map of Soloman Butte

About this map

The Williamson River carves a central path through this section of the Winema National Forest, serving as the primary geographic corridor for both natural features and human infrastructure. In the late 1980s, the small settlement of Kirk sits at the northern edge of this quadrangle, positioned near the river where it transitions from open meadows into more timbered terrain. To the south, the preservation of this landscape is evidenced by the convergence of the Sun Pass State Forest and Collier Memorial State Park. Recreational development is concentrated along the water, with the Williamson River Campground and Ouxkanee Picnic Area providing access to the riverbank. This map documents a working forest and protected wilderness, where utilitarian features like a wooden pole trans line and a pipeline traverse the same land as prominent landmarks like Soloman Butte and Buckeroo Spring.
