About this map

Camp Sherman serves as the primary focal point of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Metolius Wild and Scenic River. This area within the Deschutes National Forest is defined by a sophisticated network of trails and water sources, including the prominent Metolius Spring. The terrain is dominated by the volcanic profile of Black Butte, which is encircled by numerous recreational routes such as the Upper Butte Loops and Lower Butte Loops.

Further west, the Cascade Range influences the drainage patterns of Suttle Lake and Scout Lake. The hydrological system is exceptionally detailed here, tracing the paths of Jack Cr, First Cr, and the various forks of Lake Creek. Long-distance paths like the Metolius-Windigo trail intersect with local connectors like the Suttle Tie, illustrating the area's long-standing importance for forest access and regional transit.
