1962 Map of Cathedral Ridge

About this map

Mt Hood dominates the southern reaches of this survey, where the glacial systems of the high peaks descend into deep drainages. The map records the intricate network of ice and rock including Ladd Glacier, Langille Glacier, and Eliot Glacier, punctuated by landmarks like Pulpit Rock and the high ridges of Cathedral Ridge. These alpine features are contrasted by the established forest infrastructure within the Mt Hood National Forest. Notable structures include the Cloud Cap Inn and the Tilly Jane Guard Station, serving as anchors for the recreational and administrative network that winds through the area. A complex system of paths, such as the Timberline Trail and the Tilly Jane Trail, connects alpine basins like Cairn Basin and Wyeast Basin. To the north, the terrain transitions into lower ridges and timbered slopes, marked by the Red Hill Guard Station and drainage systems feeding the Middle Fork Hood River.
