2011 Map of Bagby Hot Springs

About this map

Bagby Hot Springs serves as the focal point for this drainage network in Clackamas County, situated where Peggy Creek meets the Hot Springs Fork of the Collawash River. The 2011 survey details a landscape defined by steep drainages and prominent volcanic peaks, including Thunder Mountain and Baty Butte. This modern topographic study reveals a complex system of forest service roads providing access to the Skookum Lake Campground and the marshy expanses of Lost Creek Meadow. Moving south from Skookum Lake, the terrain falls away toward Pegleg Falls, while numerous tributaries such as Nohorn Creek, Hugh Creek, and Whetstone Creek carve through the heavily wooded slopes. The map provides a precise record of the hydrological environment before major wildfires impacted the region, preserving the exact layout of trails and access points to secluded spots like Joyce Lake and various smaller creeks.
