About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses much of this timber-rich landscape in the Cascades foothills during the late 1980s. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Swamp Mountain and Doe Mountain, with the long crest of Green Mountain Ridge cutting across the southern half of the sheet. Resource management and historical land use are evident through features such as a Lookout Tower (Used) and a localized Quarry.

Watercourses drain through complex canyon systems, most notably the North Fork Calapooia River and Wiley Creek. These streams are fed by numerous small tributaries with distinctive local names like Flimflam Creek and Coley Creek. The network of unimproved roads and trails shown suggests a period when forestry and fire lookout operations were the primary human activities in this portion of Linn County.
