About this map

The Middle Santiam Wilderness and Willamette National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in Linn County. Defined by its river drainage and steep ridges, the area centers on the Middle Santiam River and its numerous tributaries including Pyramid Creek and Donaca Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Chimney Peak and Swamp Peak, which serve as anchors for a network of remote paths including the Chimney Peak Trl and Gordan Peak Trl.

A notable freshwater feature, Donaca Lake, sits within the wilderness boundaries, while McNabb Falls marks a significant drop along the watercourses. To the north, Quartzville Creek and Butte Creek cut through the forest near Little Meadows and Minniece Point. This survey captures the region's character as a preserved watershed, where the absence of modern road infrastructure highlights the reliance on historic trail systems for navigation through the dense Cascades topography.
