1988 Map of Candle Creek

About this map

Metolius River drainage patterns define this area of the Cascades, where several major administrative boundaries converge during the late 1980s. The map illustrates the junction of the Mt Jefferson Wilderness, Deschutes National Forest, and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. Along the river’s edge, the Wizard Falls State Fish Hatchery and Wizard Falls provide a focal point for activity near the Canyon Creek Campground. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Sugar Pine Ridge and Abbot Butte, a landscape marked by numerous remote water sources like Sugar Pine Spring and Abbot Butte Spring. The drainage of Candle Creek and Jefferson Creek through these managed lands reveals a complex network of forest access and protected wilderness typical of the Oregon high country in this era.
