About this map

Breitenbush Hot Springs serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey of the Cascades, situated where the Breitenbush River meets its north and south forks. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably the Breitenbush Gorge and S Breitenbush Gorge, which carve through the Willamette National Forest. This modern record details an intricate network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 46, providing access to remote high-altitude features like Breitenbush Mtn and Devils Peak.

The hydrography of the region is equally complex, featuring numerous alpine water bodies including Crown Lake, Claggett Lake, and Sportsman Lakes. Toward the north, the boundary with the Mount Hood National Forest passes near Hawk Mtn and Twin Meadows. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of the N Fork Breitenbush River and the E Fork Collawash River, illustrating the rugged hydrology of the Oregon wilderness in the early 21st century.
