About this map

Mount Hood National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Hood River Co and Wasco Co. The terrain is marked by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Lookout Mtn, Gunsight Butte, and Bluegrass Ridge. Water is abundant throughout the quadrangle, feeding from high-altitude sources like Jean Lake and Badger Lake into an intricate network of drainages such as Badger Cr, Dog River, and the E Fork Hood River.

Subalpine meadows like Elk Meadows, Horsethief Meadows, and Bonney Meadows provide distinct geographic breaks in the forested slopes. The area is intersected by several forest access routes, including State Hwy 35, Bennett Pass Rd, and Badger Lake Rd, which connect these remote water bodies and meadows. To the south, Crane Prairie and Boulder Spinning Lake sit near Echo Point, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of the Cascades.
