A full series at that scale was never completed, and eventually just replaced by the 15 minute series, then the 7.5 minute series. The copy you linked to is the only one I've ever seen, and is actually a reprint from the USGS, circa 1950s. Very fun reading through the brochure! Vacation Rentals: Plan Your Oregon Stay.

TheBarlowRoad.com - "White River"

(original route/Smock Road) The early Barlow Road route crosses Gate Creek a little over 5 miles upstream from where Gate Creek merges into Rock Creek. Between 1846 to 1852 the first of five tollgates operating on the Barlow Road was established at this Gate Creek crossing. The route on the 1860 cadastral survey for T4S, R12E, shows the "Immigrant Road" crossing Rock Creek and heading southwest to Gate Creek, where it then turns west following Gate Creek's north bank until it crosses in T4S, R11E, Section 35. The route shown on the 1872 cadastral survey map shows "Road Across the Cascades to Barlow's Gate" crossing at the same location, but entering the area from the northeast. Gate Creek - Oregon Trail: Barlow Road. West of the Tygh valley, the emigrants moved along a grassy ridge about 10 miles to Rock Creek, a tributary to the White River.

Gate Creek - Oregon Trail: Barlow Road

From there they entered a small canyon at the east end of a half-mile long meadow, and forded a creek. The site had access to grass and water, and became the location for the first toll gate along the Barlow Road.

Mazamas: An abbreviated history

William Gladstone Steel, a no-nonsense postman, was the driving force behind the Mazamas. Steel wanted to establish a climbing organization run by climbers for climbers. He was adamant that summiting a glaciated peak be a requirement for membership, a threshold that remains today. As if founding a new organization was not enough, Steel was also advocating for the creation of Crater Lake National Park. Swim – Mt. Hood History. The resort community of Swim was once located at the base of Multorpor Mountain near Government Camp.

Swim – Mt. Hood History

It was established sometime prior to 1924, when it appears on the USGS topo map. A post office opened there in 1925, with resort owner Boyd Summers named postmaster. In 1928 two different advertisements ran in the Oregonian on June 15 and on August 10 listing the features and amenities of the resort, including fishing, hiking, campgrounds, a store, cabins, and “hot tub baths of radio active mineral water.”

March. Albert Bierstadt’s magical 1869 vision of Mount Hood Long before white settlement had reshaped the American West, artists were traveling with early explorers to capture scenes of the stunning landscape and native peoples. This was the first view most Easterners in our young country had of places like Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite — places that would eventually become the crown jewels of our national park system. And just as Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge are still believed by many to be part of the national park system, the painters and photographers of the mid-1800s captured them in their untouched state along with the other great places in the West.
