About this map

Calapooya Mountains and the high elevations of the Oregon Cascades dominate this landscape at the intersection of three major national forests. The 2014 survey marks a complex hydrographic network where the Middle Fork Willamette River originates among numerous alpine basins, including Marie Lake and Summit Lake. The rugged crest is defined by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which threads through Emigrant Pass near the prominent Emigrant Butte.

Evidence of forest management and backcountry access is visible through an extensive network of Forest Service development roads, such as Rigdon Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 2154. This area serves as a critical boundary zone, where the borders of Lane, Klamath, and Douglas Counties meet amidst protected lands like the Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest. Terrain features like Paddys Valley and Hills Peak illustrate the transition from river drainage to high volcanic peaks.
