1955 Map of Wilhoit

About this map

Wilhoit serves as a central landmark in this mid-century survey of the rugged borderland between Clackamas Co and Marion Co. The landscape is defined by the heavy drainage systems of Teasel Creek, Rock Creek, and Beaver Creek, punctuated by significant elevations like High Hill and Missouri Ridge. Human settlement is sparse and utilitarian, centered around rural educational sites such as Beaver Lake Sch and Maple Grove School, alongside a noted instance of a vanished institution at the Wildcat School (Aband). Industrial activity is evident through numerous extraction sites, including the Berrenth Quarry and Yoder Quarry, which are linked by a network of winding timber and access roads like Sawtell Road and Forest Road. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several pioneer burial grounds, such as Dart Cem and Adams Cem.
