2017 Map of Belknap Springs

About this map

Belknap Springs and Foley Springs anchor this portion of the Cascade Range, where the thermal activity of the volcanic landscape has long drawn visitors to the banks of the McKenzie River. This 2017 study illustrates the complex network of forest development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2650 RD, that weave through the Willamette National Forest to reach remote landmarks like Cupola Rock and Frissell Point. The map provides a contemporary record of land management and recreation, highlighting the McKenzie River NRT trail and the Mc Kenzie Bridge State Airport serving the river valley. From the heights of Foley Ridge down to the confluence of Horse Creek and the McKenzie River, the cartography details a wilderness structured by both its natural hydrology—seen in Rainbow Falls and Separation Cr—and the infrastructure required for modern forestry and tourism.
