During the late 1880s portions of the land now known as the "Middleton Trac" were logged and the logs processed at the "Old Page Mill" site which is now located within Portola State Park.However much of the logging was perfunctory and many stands of old growth redwoods remained within the quarter section, including some very large trees in the Peters Creek drainage, and in several steep canyon areas.Some of these old growth trees exceed diameters at the base.
