1985 Map of Bagby Hot Springs

About this map

Bagby Hot Springs serves as the focal point for this mid-1980s provisional study, located along the Hot Springs Fork deep within the Mt Hood National Forest. The map documents the intricate hydrology and terrain of the Clackamas and Marion county border, where the Collawash River and numerous tributaries like Pansy Creek and Thunder Creek carve through the landscape. The presence of Bagby Hot Springs Campground and Pegleg Falls indicates the area's role as a recreational destination even during this period of geological assessment. High-elevation landmarks such as Baty Butte and Thunder Mountain dominate the topography, while a network of 4WD tracks and a trans line reveal the industrial and utility access required to maintain this portion of the Cascades. To the south, the boundary with Willamette National Forest is marked near Whetstone and the headwaters of Gold Creek.
