Snippets from the Oregon Skyline Trail Map of 1921-- its Birth Year. For information about price please click here

 

 

The above is a small section of the map showing where it crossed the original McKenzie Pass Highway (in 1921 the modern Santiam Pass crossing (Hwy 22) did not exist)......Below is a sample of a portion of the mileage log section of the map; the "65.00" miles marks 65 miles from the Trail's northern terminus at Mt. Hood.

Price: For a variety of reasons, I am now only offering the full-size, two-sided, laminated version. The price of that has risen to $29.00, which includes shipping in a hard cardboard tube within the lower 48 States of the US. I do not take credit cards, but I do take PayPal....The full-size map dimensions are 24x17.5 inches. I'd like you to know a few things that relate to this pricing:
First, this whole thing is not some big, money-making, volume business-- it's just a tiny sideline thing that I put out there for the hiking community a couple years ago. It's a very sporadic and occasional thing that someone wants one. It's not practical or feasible for me to try to search out volume deals from big printing businesses on these. The maps are made up pretty much one at a time for a specific person who has contacted me, and they involve quite a bit of running around for me to go to speciality places to get them made up and then shipped from a post office...With the price of gas now at new-record levels, I'm suddenly very aware of how much money driving around for laminations and post offices is costing me. And also recently there have been big increases by the US Post Office in their rates, especially related to certain dimensions of packages.

The lamination is very desireable because with it one can display the map on a wall, and flip it over from time to time if desired. And for those users who will be taking the map with them into the wilderness in search of the old trail, the protection from dirt and moisture is crucial. Please also contact me if you might desire the unlaminated version, which will cost $16.00 (I'm bringing it back because it has gotten so expensive to do the laminated versions).....Finally, if people would like to explore being sent portions of the map via email, I could consider that option if people would be willing to pay me a little via Paypal for my efforts (I've recently had the original scanned at high resolution, for a rather high price in excess of $50). If using the email option, be aware that I am limiting this to folks wanting to see specific portions of the old trail-- I'd want them to specify which section of the trail they would want. Then I would custom crop and size that portion of the 1921 map for them, and email them the results as a jpg file. I think I would want $5.00 for this.
