2011 Map of Blair Lake

About this map

The North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River defines the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape in the Oregon Cascades. A network of high-country meadows and named openings, such as Blair Meadows, Captain Prairie, and Salt Rock Prairie, suggests a terrain shaped by historical grazing or natural clearings within the dense forest. High points like Mule Mountain provide strategic vantage points, anchored by the presence of the Mule Mountain Lookout. Small alpine water bodies, including Blair Lake and Devils Lake, serve as the headwaters for a dense web of tributaries like Mule Creek and Pocher Creek. The intricate drainage system, flowing toward Salmon Creek in the south, illustrates the complex topography of the Willamette National Forest area as documented in the early twenty-first century.
