2011 Map of Fish Mountain

About this map

Fish Mountain rises as the central landmark of this drainage-rich portion of the Cascade Range in Douglas County. The landscape is defined by its complex network of cold-water streams, including Hershberger Creek, Foster Creek, and the Castle Rock Fork, which carve through the high-elevation terrain. Named peaks and ridges such as Rattlesnake Mountain and Jackass Mountain surround high-country openings like High Prairie and Pup Prairie. Small high-mountain lakes are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Toad Lake, Triangle Lake, and Poole Lake. Notable backcountry points of interest include the Fish Creek Shelter and the curiously named Hole in the Ground near Weaver Mountain. The map detail shows the intricate system of Forest Service roads that provide access to these remote summits and the various glades and meadows, such as Alkali Meadows and Foster Glades, which have likely served as seasonal landmarks for generations of mountain travelers.
