About this map

Mount Hood National Forest occupies this high-elevation landscape, where the confluence of Clackamas, Multnomah, and Hood River counties meets along steep ridgelines. The map is anchored by the deep reservoirs of Bull Run Lake and Lost Lake, critical water sources for the region. Civil infrastructure is minimal, consisting of remote outposts like the Upper Sandy Guard Station, the Bald Mtn Shelter, and the Ranger Sta near the northern shore of Lost Lake.

A network of historical trails and forest roads serves the timber and recreation economy of the mid-20th century. The Skyline Trail and Lolo Pass Road provide passage through the high country, crossing notable topographical features such as Butcher Knife Ridge and Yocum Ridge. The presence of the Fred McNeil Campground and Lost Creek Camp near the Sandy River illustrates the area's development as a destination for outdoor life prior to the expansion of more modern wilderness protections.
