1988 Map of Breitenbush Hot Springs

About this map

Breitenbush Hot Springs serves as a focal point for this high-elevation landscape where the Mt Hood National Forest meets the Willamette National Forest. This 1980s survey captures the intersection of forestry management and recreation, centered on the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork Breitenbush River. The map documents established infrastructure including the Breitenbush Guard Station and Cleator Bend Campground, set against the backdrop of Rhododendron Ridge and Hawk Mountain. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the Mt Jefferson Wilderness, characterized by a network of drainage systems like Roaring Creek and Devils Creek. The presence of numerous meadows, such as Cachebox Meadow and Twin Meadows, suggests the varied alpine ecology of this protected mountain corridor.
