About this map

Blair Lake and the surrounding reaches of the Willamette National Forest define this landscape, where numerous alpine prairies and meadows break through the dense timber of the Cascade Range. In the late 1990s, the area remained a network of high-elevation openings like Beal Prairie, Spring Meadow, and Winnie Prairie, many of which are situated near the ridges of Mule Mountain and Koch Mountain.

The drainage patterns are meticulously detailed, showing the headwaters of Captain Creek and Salmon Creek before they join the North Fork Willamette River at the northern edge of the sheet. For those tracing the infrastructure of the forest, the map documents several Quarry sites and the winding path of Aufderheide Memorial Drive near the river. To the east, the boundary of the Waldo Lake Wilderness marks a transition into even more secluded terrain.
