[or-roots] help needed

[Leslie Chapman]

According to geographic names the one in Clackamas county got its name from
an Ogle who thought it looked like a rooster's comb, the one in Multnomah
county has no explanation for it's name. Okay this is too weird; USGS has
three Rooster "Rock" listings for summits, plus a peak and a comb, bu none
in Clackamas county by any name???

Further there are two locations listed for populated places/PO's that are
just west of the state park, so I assume that must be the location meant in
the 1880 census.

No Loudon's therein 1880, one family each in Gervais, Marion, Oregon,
Applegate, Jackson, Oregon and Williamsburg, Josephine, Oregon. plus William
H. LOWDEN   Other   S   Male   W   25   US   Carpenter  in Portland,
Multnomah, Oregon. Interestingly all three spouses are from Missouri, but
husbands one from Kentucky and two from Indiana.

 If you don't have any census info let me know, be glad to look for it.

So what is your story about the name for Rooster Rock?
