1961 Map of Breitenbush Hot Springs

About this map

Breitenbush Hot Springs serves as a primary point of interest in this high-altitude landscape, where the Mt Hood National Forest and Willamette National Forest converge. The 1961 survey documents a wilderness transitioning into a managed recreation and resource area, marked by the presence of Rhododendron Guard Sta and Olallie Guard Sta. Extensive trail systems, including the notable Skyline Trail and the Hunter Trail, weave through a terrain defined by peaks such as Scorpion Mtn and Bald Butte. To the east, the boundary of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation is clearly delineated, separating the national forests from tribal lands. Numerous water bodies like Round Lake and the Collawash River drain the high ridges, supporting a network of sites like Lemiti Campground and the Cleator Bend Picnic Area for early 1960s visitors.
