About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this mid-1990s landscape, illustrating the complex management of timber and water resources in the Cascades. The map reveals The Dalles Watershed, a protected area focused on water quality for downstream users, anchored by the Crow Creek Dam and its associated reservoir. Settlement is concentrated at Camp Baldwin and its adjacent Camp Baldwin Lake, while high-altitude prairies like Bottle Prairie and Mount Hood Flat dot the terrain.

A network of hydraulic engineering is evident through the Wolf Run Ditch, which traverses the slopes near Fivemile Butte. This area serves as a transition between the deep canyons of Hessian Canyon and the high ridges. Local industry is marked by extractive sites such as Skyline Quarry and Jones Point Quarry, while numerous named springs like Knebal Spring and Wampus Springs highlight the critical role of groundwater in this environment.
