2014 Map of Upper Soda

About this map

Upper Soda serves as a central reference point in this portion of the Willamette National Forest, where the S Santiam River carves through the southern landscape of the Cascade Range. This 2014 survey documents the convergence of historical and modern transit, featuring the Old Santiam Wagon Rd running parallel to the Santiam Hwy. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage systems of the region, including Soda Fork, Trout Cr, and Moose Cr. Landform nomenclature is prominent throughout, with high points such as Moose Mtn, Cougar Rock, and the strikingly named Bloody Point punctuating the ridges. The distribution of National Forest Development Roads illustrates the 21st-century management of these timberlands, while names like Moose Lake and Rooster Rock anchor the local geography for those researching Linn County history.
