1962 Map of Wolf Run

About this map

The Mt Hood National Forest dominates this 1962 terrain, where the high ridges and deep drainages of Wasco County are marked by a network of historic transit routes and small-scale infrastructure. The presence of the Wolf Run Community Hall and the Dufur City Reservoir suggests a localized social and utility hub serving the surrounding rural landscape. This area is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, including Japanese Hollow and Hessian Canyon, which channel the flow of numerous waterways like Eightmile Creek and Fifteenmile Creek. Early industry and settlement patterns are evidenced by names like Dufur Mill Road and Ward Mill Road, indicating the movement of timber or grain through these high-elevation corridors. A distinct Jeep Trail and the Skyline Road traverse the ridges, mapping a landscape that remained focused on resource management and community navigation in the early 1960s.
