About this map

The confluence of the West Fork Hood River and the Middle Fork Hood River near the small settlement of Dee serves as the central focal point of this modern topographic record. Located within the Mount Hood National Forest, the landscape is defined by the steep elevation gains of Blowdown Ridge and Trout Creek Ridge above the fertile Upper Hood River Valley. The mapping details water management and natural resources through labels like the Oak Grove Ditch and Searra Casa Reservoir, alongside several named springs such as Ice Fountain Spring and Crystal Springs.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the geography of established rural areas like Dee Flat and Batts Meadow. The map documents the intricate drainage network of the region, from the dramatic Punchbowl Falls to the various branches of Green Point Creek. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on the intersection of forest management, agriculture, and hydrology in this portion of the Cascade foothills.
