Document Transcription and Description

Page 1 — Hand-drawn sketch map on lined notebook paper

This is a hand-drawn route diagram in red ink, labeled at the bottom:

ROARING RIDGE TRAIL
W. RONDY 7-73

The sketch shows a winding dashed trail route with numbered waypoints (approximately 1 through 23 visible on this page), beginning at the bottom near a GATE and a circled notation R-24, passing a POWER LINE (with waypoint >1), continuing past a ROCK PIT (near waypoint 4), and winding upward through numbered points to the upper portion of the page.

Along the left side of the sketch is a vertical arrow labeled 600' BEAUTIFULLY BUILT (indicating a section of trail approximately 600 feet long).

At the upper portion, annotations note:
- 21 GRASSY OPENING
- >3 LARGE GRASSY OPENING → 400'

On the right side of the sketch, a vertical line is labeled ROARING RIV[ER] (Roaring River).

At the bottom of the page, a partial topographic map is visible as a border strip.


Page 2 — Continuation of hand-drawn sketch map on lined notebook paper

This page continues the trail route diagram in red ink, picking up from waypoint 23 at the bottom and continuing upward through numbered waypoints: 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 38, and into the upper section.

Annotations include:
- HOGBACK (labeled on the left side)
- HUGE FIRS, OXALIS (labeled mid-left with a downward arrow)
- 90° (a sharp turn noted near waypoint ~33)
- CLIFF (noted near waypoint 38, upper area)
- OLD CLEARCUT (upper area)
- OLD C.C. (upper right)
- VIGOROUS HEADSTREAM IN DEEP CANYON (upper right, with an arrow pointing down-right)

A north arrow is indicated on the left side. A partial topographic map is visible as a border strip at the bottom.

Text written in red ink:

LOGS ACROSS TRAIL

| Size | Count |
|------|-------|
| 10–20" | 50 |
| 20–30" | 38 |
| 30–40" | 14 |
| 40–60" | 4 |

LARGE UPROOTS IN TROAD [TREAD] — 5

ELEVATION GAIN — 1400'

GRADE AVERAGES — 25%
· THUS LENGTH IS ABOUT 5600'

TREAD IS GENERALLY POOR BUT STILL DISTINCT FOR MOST OF THE LENGTH. LOWER 3/8 MILES IS ALMOST GONE.

TREAD MATERIAL IS GOOD — EARTH WITH GRAVEL — IT WILL TEND TO RAVEL BECAUSE OF STEEP SIDESLOPE.

UPPER ½ MILE OF TREAD IS IN STABLE GROUND

A partial topographic map is visible as a border strip at the bottom.


Page 4 — Topographic/land status map

This is a black-and-white printed map (appears to be a USFS or BLM land status/township map) showing a portion of the Clackamas River area in Oregon. Visible named features include:

- Bedford Point, Bedford (upper left area), Road S469
- Clackamas (river/area label), Road S469, S403, S472
- Boyer Creek
- Big Eddy, Big Eddy (campground/feature)
- Carter Bridge, Armstrong
- Squaw Min[tain], Squaw Meadows (upper right)
- Lookout Springs, Lookout Spot
- Huxley Lake
- Indian Ridge, Shinning [Shining] Lake, Stones Lake
- The Narrows, Dinner (BM 1129)
- Three Lynx (lower center)
- Grouse Point
- Roaring (River Fork area, center)
- Sandstone area, Sisson

A short red zigzag line is drawn on the map near the Roaring River / Roaring area (center of map), indicating the approximate location of the Roaring Ridge Trail surveyed in the notes above.

A handwritten annotation reads: I WONDER UP HERE (written across the center of the map).

The map reference number 7-13-2 appears in the lower right.
