About this map

The East Fork Hood Wild and Scenic River carves a deep central corridor through this section of the Mount Hood National Forest, defining a landscape of high ridges and isolated meadows. The eastern portion is dominated by Surveyers Ridge and the heights of Shellrock Mtn, while the western slopes rise toward the Bluegrass Ridge and the glacial drainages of Polallie Cr. This area is characterized by a high density of named springs and falls, such as Tamanawas Falls and Gibson Spring, which feed the complex network of creeks including Trout Cr and Evans Cr.

A notable network of seasonal routes, such as the 4400 Dufur Mill Road Snow and various spurs, suggests the vital role of forest management and winter recreation in this part of Hood River County. The map identifies several high-altitude clearings like Brooks Meadow and Horkelia Meadow, which serve as significant landmarks within the timbered terrain. The presence of the Tilly Jane Ski area and Dog River Trail 675 underscores the long-standing recreational utility of these forest lands.
