About this map

The Clackamas River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Mt Hood National Forest, serving as the primary corridor for forestry and recreation in the mid-1980s. The settlement of Ripplebrook stands as a focal point for activity, hosting the Ripplebrook Ranger Station, a Heliport, and the nearby Ripplebrook Campground. Further north, the Timber Lake Job Corps Center is located near Timber Lake, highlighting the area's role in public works and conservation during this era.

Industrial and recreational footprints are interspersed among the drainages of Oak Creek and Fish Creek. Remote outposts like the Oak Grove Work Center and the Silvertip area are connected by a network of forest roads and 4wd tracks. The southern reaches of the map feature the Austin Hot Springs and numerous riverside sites such as Raab Campground and the Two Rivers Picnic Area, illustrating a landscape managed for both timber resources and public access.
