If it was colocated with an airway beacon site then it is almost certainly an emergency landing field. Almost.

"Seneca Emergency Airstrip"

This is a great archive of old maps and charts. You might check the state of Oregon on here and look for old charts there.

Possible airstrip on the Deschutes?

Fish Creek USFS Airstrip. More discussion here: http://www.backcountrypilot.org/forum/forgotten-airstrips-fish-creek-oregon-2626?hilit=estacada

LaPine had an airport in the past. As late as 1985 there was still an old wooden hangar with a Stinson. When I moved there in 1995 there were 3 foot high trees growing on the runway.

1978 Deschutes NF map. In the center of the map Land color code is BLM.

A long lost USFS Airstrip in the foothills SE of Moalla. It is shown on some USGS maps.

Thanks! I've looked at that one on the ground before, would be a cool on the re-open.

Crescent Airport in Gilchrist. I think this was a state owned airstrip?

Fall River USFS Airstrip

If you don't want to land on the highway, there is the "Fields Airstrip". I think it is BLM?
