About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this section of Wasco County, where the transition from high timber to the open country of central Oregon is clearly defined. In the north, the small settlement of Pine Grove sits along the Or-216 corridor, while the rest of the landscape is a network of named gulches and ridges. Significant topographic features like Foreman Point and the Laughlin Hills rise above the surrounding terrain, marking the high ground between Coyote Creek and Beaver Creek.

Tracing the secondary roads and Forest Service routes reveals a landscape once heavily managed for livestock and forestry. Seasonal water sources like Buck Spring, Government Spring, and Log Spring are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks in this arid environment. To the south, Simnasho Butte and Beaver Creek Prairie indicate a change in vegetation and land use, while the prominence of Quartz Butte and Rainbow Rock provides distinct navigational markers for those following Wapinitia Highway.
