About this map

Metolius River frontage and the high-elevation terrain of Jefferson County define this landscape as it was documented in the late 1980s. The map illustrates a complex intersection of administrative boundaries, where the eastern edge of the Mt Jefferson Wilderness meets the Deschutes National Forest and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. Along the riverbanks, the Wizard Falls State Fish Hatchery stands near Wizard Falls, marking a point of human activity amidst the largely undeveloped mountain forest.

Water sources are plentiful throughout the area, including the numerous forks of Candle Creek, Abbot Creek, and Roaring Creek. High points like Abbot Butte and the long stretch of Sugar Pine Ridge provide topographic contrast to the deep canyons. Established recreational sites, such as the Abbot Creek Campground and Allen Springs Campground, reflect the region's historical role in backcountry access and conservation.
