About this map

Flag Point and Jordan Butte anchor this high-elevation landscape in the eastern Cascades, where a complex network of seasonal creeks and springs feeds the watershed. This 2011 survey illustrates the historical infrastructure of the region, marked by remote outposts like Camp Friend and early water management features such as Springer Ditch and Highland Ditch. These irrigation channels reflect the critical role of water diversion for lower-elevation agricultural lands.

Transit through the area is defined by forest routes like Bennett Pass Rd and Flag Point Lookout Rd, which connect isolated crossings such as Steeds Crossing and Bonney Crossing. From the grassy expanse of Eightmile Meadow to named peaks like Bulo Point and Hootnanny Point, the map documents a terrain shaped by forestry and fire lookout history, evidenced by the numerous springs including Sunrise Springs and Three Bear Spring that sustain the local ecology.
