1967 Map of Ukiah

About this map

Ukiah serves as the primary settlement on this portion of the Umatilla National Forest, situated along the winding course of Camas Creek. The landscape of the late 1960s is defined by a network of watercourses, including Snipe Creek and Owens Creek, which drain the timbered uplands and open canyons. Traces of human activity are scattered across the terrain, from the small community of Albee to a small cemetery and a remote Landing Strip north of the main town. The presence of a Lookout and the Ukiah-Dale Wayside highlights the area's dual role as a managed forest resource and a destination for travelers. Numerous benchmarks and jeep trails throughout Johnson Canyon and the surrounding forks suggest a history of surveying and local forestry access typical of this section of Umatilla County during the mid-20th century.
