1997 Map of Westfir East

About this map

Middle Fork Willamette River and the North Fork Willamette River converge near Westfir and Oakridge, defining the industrial and transportation character of this mountain valley in the late 1990s. The landscape is dominated by the Willamette National Forest, where resource management and recreational infrastructure are evident through features like the Rigdon Work Center, Buckhead Shelter, and Camp 6. High-elevation points like Sourgrass Mountain and Dead Mountain overlook a complex network of forest roads and trails, including the Robert Aufderheide Memorial Drive. The presence of the Oakridge Airport, a local Cemetery, and a Golf Course near the riverbanks illustrates the developed footprint of these timber-country hubs. Local industry is marked by a Quarry and Gravel Pit, while natural drainage is recorded through numerous named tributaries like Salmon Creek and Huckleberry Creek.
