1962 Map of Wamic

About this map

Wamic sits at the edge of the high plateau, serving as a gateway to the wooded slopes of the Mt Hood National Forest during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by deep river cuts and broad upland benches like Smock Prairie and Juniper flat. To the south, the White River carves a dramatic canyon, while Threemile Creek and Rock Creek flow through the northern reaches. Evidence of early settlement and rural education is found at Smock Sch and Batty Sch, which once served the isolated agricultural families of the region.
