About this map

Badger Creek Wilderness and the surrounding Mount Hood National Forest define this landscape along the boundary of Hood River and Wasco counties. The topography is characterized by a series of prominent high points and ridges, including Flag Point, Bulo Point, and Gordon Butte, which overlook a network of drainage basins. Water sources are abundant throughout the region, from the high-elevation Eightmile Meadow to numerous named springs like Cedar Creek Spring and Sunrise Springs.

A network of forest roads and trails connects remote landmarks, such as the Lookout at Flag Point and the stream crossing at Bonney Crossing near Rock Creek. Industry is represented by the Owl Quarry in the northeast, while the complex drainage systems of Fifteenmile Creek and Threemile Creek illustrate the natural irrigation patterns of the eastern Cascade slopes. This 1990s revision provides a detailed view of the terrain before later environmental shifts, preserving the location of specific forest features like Stockton Spring and Oval Lake.
