About this map

The Sandy River and Salmon River converge near the established community of Brightwood in this 2014 topographic study. This area, largely contained within the Mount Hood National Forest, shows a landscape defined by sharp drainage basins and critical water infrastructure. To the north, the Bull Run Reservoir Number One serves as a primary catchment area, fed by the Bull Run River and numerous tributaries like Bear Cr and Cougar Cr.

Settlement patterns follow the southern river valleys, with residential clusters at Mount Hood Village, Alder Creek, and Marmot. The presence of E Barlow Trail Rd provides a direct connection to the historic overland route used by pioneers, running parallel to the modern Us-26 corridor. High elevation landmarks such as Lookout Point and the ridge known as Devils Backbone dominate the western terrain, marking the transition from the riverbeds to the high forest peaks.
