About this map

Mount Hood National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape, where numerous tributaries carve through the timbered slopes of the Cascade Range. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Beaver Butte and Rocky Point, providing a complex network of ridges and drainages that feed into Beaver Cr and Butte Cr. This 2017 survey reveals the extensive logging and service road infrastructure, including Beaver Lookout Rd and Mount Wilson Rd, which crisscross the forest to provide access for resource management and fire prevention.

Water management is evident through features like Clear Cr Ditch in the northeast and several named springs, such as Cold Springs Cr, which are vital in this high-country environment. The southeastern corner of the map touches upon Reservation Rd, marking the edge of managed lands. Genealogists and local historians can trace the legacy of land divisions through the numerous PB (Public Board) parcels and section lines that organize this wilderness area.
