1955 Map of Timber

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Timber stands at the confluence of the Nehalem River and Lousignont Creek, serving as a focal point for the mountain-and-forest economy of the mid-1950s. The Southern Pacific railroad snakes through the northern hills, passing through the high-altitude settlement at Cochran before descending toward the coast. This geography is defined by its deep drainages and forestry outposts, including McNamers Camp and Rogers Forest Camp situated along the high divides. Significant logging infrastructure is evident in the inclusion of Logging Camp (Aband) and remote points like Timbuktu. The landscape is a network of fire roads and ridgelines, from Saddle Mtn in the south to the lookout atop Round Top, reflecting an era of intensive timber management and rugged extraction before modern reforestation reshaped the Coast Range peaks.
