I had seen cut logs along the bench above the Roaring River on the Cougar Creek Trail heading west towards Plaza Creek, but haven't had the time to follow it out. Not too many people venture off into the Roaring River Wilderness in this area for lack of established trails.

I guess you are correct!  I don't know what threw me, maybe I just wasn't looking close enough - Since the lower section of the Plaza Creek trail is really pretty much unknown, I guess the sharp turn east threw me a bit.  Also, all the "Plaza xxx" trails are rather confusing (Plaza trail, Plaza Creek trail, Plaza Lake trail).  Where is this "Plaza" all this stuff is named for?

Not only that, it is a LONG ways down into that canyon!  And the trip back up is difficult and tiring!

My theory on the Plaza Creek Trail is that it turned east well above the river. But campers dove off it and created a "way" down to the creek for fishing. I have heard it refered to by older folks as a fisherman's trail.

So that could explain why explorers loose it on the way down. 

Myself, I have only been able to follow tread part way.
