About this map

Breitenbush Hot Springs serves as a primary point of interest in this 1961 survey, documenting the developed thermal area and its surrounding forest infrastructure. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by a dense network of US Forest Service facilities, including the Clackamas Ranger Sta, the Rho Ridge Shelter, and multiple guard stations positioned along the boundary between the Mount Hood National Forest and Willamette National Forest.

Recreational and transit patterns of the early 1960s are visible through the detailed mapping of the Skyline Trail and several campgrounds near Round Lake and Olallie Butte. The terrain is marked by distinctive volcanic features such as Sisi Butte and the Pinhead Buttes. A variety of family-named or descriptive remote sites, including Warm Springs Cabin and Burnt Granite, provide essential context for those researching the mid-century wilderness management and early recreational development in the Oregon Cascades.
