About this map

Emigrant Butte and the surrounding high country of the Calapooya Mountains dominate this modern survey of the Cascade Range divide. This is a landscape defined by its hydrography and elevation, where the headwaters of the Middle Fork Willamette River and Emigrant Cr drain from alpine basins. The map illustrates a complex intersection of the Willamette National Forest, Deschutes National Forest, and Umpqua National Forest, showing how administrative boundaries follow the crests between Hills Peak and Diamond Peak.

High-altitude recreation and seasonal access are prominent, with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding past Marie Lake and Summit Lake. The density of named water bodies, including Reflection Lake, Spruce Lake, and Neet Lake, highlights the glaciated character of the terrain near Emigrant Pass. A network of Forest Service roads like Timpanogas Road and several snowmobile trails, such as the Happy Prairie Snowmobile (Snow), provide the primary modern corridors through these high-elevation valleys.
