Map of Cascade National Forest

Title: Map of Cascade National Forest
LC Subject: Forest reserves--Oregon
Description: The Cascade National Forest was first withdrawn from the public domain in 1893 and set off under its present name in 1911. It has an area in public lands of over 1,000,000 acres, being about 1/3 larger than the state of Rhode Island. Roughly, it extends from McKenzie Pass on the north to Cowhorn Moutain on the South, and to Mount June and Reserve on the West. It includes practically all the head waters of both the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers. Some idea of the investment value may be gained from these figures--the gross income from this forest for fiscal year, 1929, was $137,000; part of which is paid to Oregon and Lane County for road and country purposes, and the balance used in protecting and developing the forest. The Reserve now has 858 miles of trails and 802 miles more of "ways" or rougher trails used in fire protection. It contains 105 miles of road built at a cost of $245,000; and has 550 miles of telephone. Primarily, the Cascase National Forest is a great reserve of timber, water and forage. But its secondary purpose, as a place of recreation, is growing in importance very rapidly. The men who administer the forest have a high sense of public service, and the traveler will almost invariably find the Forest Service man to be both well informed and eager to be of assistance.
