About this map

Bagby Hot Springs lies at the heart of this mountain landscape within the Mt Hood National Forest, marking a unique hydrothermal feature where the terrain drops toward the Collawash River. This late-1990s survey delineates the boundary between Clackamas and Marion counties, showing a region defined by high peaks like Baty Butte and Thunder Mountain. The map illustrates the specialized recreational and industrial infrastructure of the era, from the Pegleg Falls (Day Use Area) to the Hugh Creek Quarry.

A network of mountain waterways, including Nohorn Creek and Whetstone Creek, feeds the larger river system, while alpine features like Skookum Lake and Lost Creek Meadow occupy the higher elevations. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Bull of the Woods Wilderness, where primitive topography remains largely untouched by the roads that service the northern quarries and timber stands.
