About this map

Mount Hood National Forest defines the topography of this high-elevation region where the Clackamas and Marion County line traverses a complex network of peaks and drainage basins. The landscape is anchored by the Bull of the Woods lookout area, surrounded by a series of alpine water bodies including the Welcome Lakes, Lily Pad Lake, and the tucked-away Pansy Lake near Pansy Basin. These high-country lakes feed a system of creeks such as Buckeye Creek and Welcome Creek, which eventually contribute to the Collawash Wild and Scenic River corridor.

Evidence of the area's geological and prospecting history is visible through features like the Mother Lode and the jagged Granite Peaks in the northeast. The terrain is notably steep, moving from Toms Meadow up to high summits like Schreiner Peak and Big Slide Mtn. This map captures the intricate hydrology of the upper Clackamas watershed, including Hot Springs Fork and various seasonal springs like Terrace Spring, essential for understanding the natural drainage patterns of this protected forest area.
