About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the boundary between Hood River and Wasco counties follows the high ridgelines. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably along the Hillary Grade and the ominously named Suicide Grade near the northern edge. Water management and conservation are central to the area's character, evidenced by the Fifteenmile Creek Wild and Scenic River and infrastructure like the Wolf Run Ditch.

Resource access for recreation and forestry is traced through numerous winter-access routes such as the 4430 Road Snow and the 4400-Dufur / Mill Road Snow. From the heights of Fivemile Butte and Lookout Mountain to the depths of Hesslan Canyon, the map reveals a network of springs—including Knebal Springs, Wampus Springs, and Jacket Springs—that sustain the high-elevation ecosystems and the Crow Cr Reservoir.
