About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this wilderness landscape within Jefferson County, defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the east. High elevation features such as Sugar Pine Ridge and Abbot Butte overlook a series of glacial and spring-fed waters, including Jefferson Lake and Cabot Lake. The area's hydrology is particularly notable for its high-volume springs, such as Wizzard Falls Spring and Roaring Spring, which feed into steep-sided canyons. A sophisticated network of Forest Service development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 1230/800, provides access to these points for resource management. The presence of the Metolius-Windigo trail system suggests the area's long-standing use for recreational transit through the Cascade Range.
