About this map

Belknap Springs and Foley Springs serve as the primary human touchpoints in this heavily forested section of the Cascade Range. The landscape is dominated by the McKenzie River corridor, which carves through the Willamette National Forest and supports a network of thermal features including Foley Hot Springs and the Belknap Hot Spring. The area's geography is defined by prominent rises like Frissell Point and Foley Ridge, which hem in the river's path.

Transportation through the drainage is facilitated by the McKenzie Hwy, while the Old McKenzie Hwy traces earlier routes alongside the Mc Kenzie Bridge State Airport. Numerous mountain tributaries, such as Horse Creek and Scott Cr, feed into the main river system. This survey documents the intersection of natural volcanic activity and early 21st-century infrastructure, capturing isolated settlements like Little Smokey and landmarks like Rainbow Falls.
