About this map

The Mc Kenzie River corridor within the Willamette National Forest defines this landscape of high ridges and managed waterways. By the late 1990s, the area reflects a sophisticated balance of hydroelectric infrastructure and recreational use. A series of reservoirs, including the Smith River Reservoir and Trail Bridge Reservoir, dominate the central drainage, supported by the Smith Dam and the Spillway Powerplant. These features represent the mid-century development of the McKenzie River’s upper reaches for power generation.
