About this map

Lost Prairie and the surrounding volcanic terrain of Linn County are defined by a complex network of high-elevation water bodies and historical transit routes. This 2011 survey captures the area just as the Old Santiam Wagon Rd continues to serve as a corridor of historical significance, linking the high Cascades to the valleys below. The map identifies the Fish Lake Remount Depot near Fish Lake, a site with deep roots in early Forest Service history and regional pack-train logistics.

The landscape is characterized by its numerous peaks, including Echo Mountain and Crescent Mountain, which feed a drainage system comprising the Smith River, Crescent Creek, and Park Creek. Notable landmarks such as Smith Prairie and The Parks reflect the mixed meadow and timber environment, while the presence of Lava Lake and Clear Lake at the eastern edge underscores the geologically recent volcanic activity that shaped this portion of the Santiam pass region.
