Story map for the Cedar Creek Fire is now available

Springfield, Ore., – July 6, 2023. The Willamette National Forest has developed and published an interactive story map featuring the 2022 Cedar Creek Fire . This map will serve as an easily accessible account of Cedar Creek Fire related information and ongoing progress with recovery work.

The story map was created to provide the public with a visual overview of the recovery process for the Cedar Creek Fire that occurred last year on the Willamette National Forest. It includes text, photos, and maps. All new data will be updated directly on the site for the public to stay informed of the latest updates.

The story map can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/32kch86k. Features on the site include large amounts of data that may require several minutes to load, so please be patient.

The Willamette National Forest recently reduced the closure order for the Cedar Creek Fire. Some areas previously located within the closure area have reopened to the public, but may not have been cleared or visited since the fire. For the complete list of recreation sites and roads included in the Cedar Creek Fire closure order, visit our website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/willamette/alerts-notices/?cid=fseprd552029.

Visitors should “Know Before You Go” as fire area closures from this year and previous years remain in effect. Check road and weather conditions before heading out as well as letting someone know your travel plans.
