South Umpqua Headwaters Precontact Reference Conditions Study

Historical Photographs, 1899 - 1944

"Salting Grounds, Summit of Divide," ca. 1930, Tiller R.D., Umpqua N.F. (courtesy USDA Umpqua National Forest).

The following index of historical photographs were provided and made available by Debra C. Barner, Heritage and Tribal Relations Program Manager, and Molly Casperson of the Umpqua National Forest, from the Forests' files. The exception is the 1899 photograph from Abbott Butte, which is from Leiberg 1900: 226.

The selection of photographs is primarily based on the location of historic fire lookouts in the study area for which Osborne panoramas have been located, and of the 25 Areas of Special Interest that were specifically chosen and defined in conjunction with the South Umpqua Headwaters Precontact Reference Conditions Study. Additional photographs of interest include several taken of the Tiller R.D headquarters and Jackson Sawmill during the early 1940s.
