About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where volcanic peaks and glacial basins dictate the movement of water and travel. The topography is dominated by prominent elevations like Davis Mtn and Pine Butte, while the northern portion of the map is defined by the deep basins of North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake. Central to the drainage of the area is the Deschutes River, which feeds into the vast expanse of the Wickiup Reservoir.

The seasonal nature of the region is reflected in an extensive network of specialized routes, including the Charlton and Davis Lake Run snow trails. These paths, alongside the Metolius-Windigo connector, illustrate how modern recreational infrastructure navigates the challenging terrain between Davis Lake and the higher reaches of the Cascade Range. This survey documents the complex interface between protected wilderness and managed water resources in the southern reach of Deschutes County.
