1997 Map of Cowhorn Mountain

About this map

Cowhorn Mountain stands as a central landmark in this high-elevation wilderness where the borders of the Willamette, Deschutes, and Umpqua National Forests converge. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of subalpine waters, including the sprawling Crescent Lake with its named coves like Tandy Bay and Tranquil Cove. This late 20th-century revision captures the intricate network of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds through the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area and the Diamond Peak Wilderness. The map reveals a landscape shaped by glacial and volcanic activity, from the heights of Sawtooth Mountain to the remote Bingham Lakes and Windy Lakes. It serves as a detailed record of backcountry access and natural boundaries, marking the division between Douglas and Klamath counties along the spine of the Calapooya Mountains.
