2011 Map of Badger Lake

About this map

Lookout Mountain and the high ridges of the Cascades dominate this 2011 survey, revealing a landscape defined by water management and mountain recreation. The Badger Lake Dam regulates Badger Lake, while nearby smaller water bodies like Jean Lake, Spinning Lake, and Little Boulder Lake dot the elevations. The map tracks a network of forest roads, including Bennett Pass Rd and Grasshopper Rd, which provide access to remote outposts like the Valley View Cabin and Nottingham Campground. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographical features such as Gunsight Butte, Badger Butte, and the Gumjuwac Saddle. Numerous springs and creeks, including Dog River Springs and Jack Springs, emphasize the area's role as a vital watershed. Named clearings and meadows like Horsethief Meadows and Bonney Meadows offer specific points of interest for those studying the local geography of Wasco County.
