About this map

Boulder Lake and its surrounding alpine basins define this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Marion, Wasco, and Jefferson counties converge. The terrain is characterized by a network of glacial lakes and volcanic features, including Cinder Cone and Badger Butte. These peaks and water bodies are linked by a complex system of remote forest routes such as NW Trout Lake Rd and BIA Rd 33, providing access to the high meadows.

Cedar Meadow and Peters Pasture reflect a landscape utilized for summer grazing or seasonal access. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Cascades, with the North Fork Boulder Creek and South Fork Boulder Creek carving through the timbered slopes. This modern survey detail shows how the high-country infrastructure serves both resource management and backcountry recreation at the edge of the Warm Springs Reservation area.
