About this map

Westfir and Oakridge serve as the primary human anchors on this mid-1980s survey, positioned where the Middle Fork Willamette River and its tributaries converge. The map documents a landscape defined by industrial and administrative infrastructure within the Willamette National Forest, including the Flat Creek Work Center and a large Golf Course near the riverbanks. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the confluence of the North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River and Salmon Creek, which carve through the high-elevation terrain of Dead Mountain and Sourgrass Mtn.

A notable network of logging roads and a prominent Transmission Line reflect the mid-century resource management and utility expansion in Lane County. High-altitude clearings like High Prairie and seasonal outposts such as Camp 6 point to the area's history of forest operations. For those researching the geography of the Cascades, the map provides precise locations for numerous numbered drainages like Fifth Creek and Ninth Creek, along with local landmarks such as Windy Pass and Scout Lake.
