2014 Map of Blair Lake

About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses this landscape of the Cascade Range, where high-elevation meadows and peaks define the topography of Lane County. The Mule Mtn Lookout stands as a central vantage point over a network of glacial lakes and creek systems, including the headwaters of the N Fork Middle Fork Willamette River. The map reveals a specific pattern of open alpine clearings known locally as prairies, such as Captain Prairie, Salt Rock Prairie, and Etta Prairie, which interrupt the dense timberlands. These features, alongside Blair Lake and Blair Meadows, illustrate the seasonal grazing and fire-lookout history of the Oregon Cascades. A complex web of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 19 and Natl Forest Develop Road 2424 Rd, provide the primary access to these remote ridgelines and water bodies like Devils Lake.
