About this map

The North Umpqua River and its hydroelectric infrastructure dominate this mid-1980s landscape within the Umpqua National Forest. The map documents a sophisticated water management system through a series of reservoirs and power facilities, including Lemolo Forebay No 2, Toketee Lake, and the Soda Springs Reservoir. These man-made features are intricately linked to powerhouses such as the Toketee Falls Powerplant and Clearwater Powerplant No 2, illustrating the industrial utilization of the river's descent through the Cascade range.

Beyond the energy corridor, the terrain transitions into significant peaks and geological landmarks. Features like Balm Mountain, Camel Hump, and Sliver Rock overlook the river valley, while cultural and natural sites like Indian Caves and the massive Ringtail Pine provide points of interest for local history and forest management. The small settlement of Clearwater and the Toketee Lake Campground represent the primary human footprints in this otherwise dense timber and utility landscape, framed by the high ridges of the Calapooya Mts.
