2017 Map of Detroit

About this map

The town of Detroit sits at the northern edge of Detroit Lake, serving as a primary gateway to the expansive Willamette National Forest. This 2017 topographic survey highlights a landscape dominated by the reservoir and the steep, wooded topography of the Cascade Range. To the south of the town, Piety Knob rises from the water, while prominent landmarks like Stahlman Point and Blowout Cliff define the ridges surrounding the Blowout Creek drainage. The map details an extensive network of forestry roads, such as Blowout Rd and Upper Divide Creek Rd, which provide access to high-elevation features including Tumble Lake, Tower Mtn, and Lucky Butte. This layout reflects the modern era of the region's history, where the economy and land use are centered on the massive reservoir and the management of public forest lands.
