About this map

The Upper Hood River Valley and its surrounding forest lands are documented here just as modern recreation and water management infrastructure were firmly established. The map reveals a landscape defined by its drainages, where the Dog River and its East Fork serve as primary arteries for the region. A notable industrial presence is marked by The Dalles City Waterworks Gaging Station, indicating the critical role of these highlands in regional water supply.

Settlement is sparse, centered on the location of Griswell, while the mountain's northern slopes are primarily dedicated to public use within the Mount Hood National Forest. Recreational sites such as the Cooper Spur Ski Area and Polallie Campground stand alongside natural landmarks like Tamanawas Falls and the high elevations of Shellrock Mtn. The network of transit is varied, ranging from the Mackintosh Road to high-altitude paths like the Zigzag Trail and the Lamberson Butte Trail.
