About this map

Laughlin Hills and the high point at Foreman Point anchor this eastern portion of the Mount Hood National Forest in Wasco County. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage features and high meadows, including Sunflower Flat and the wide expanse of Beaver Creek Prairie. This landscape is particularly dense with named water sources such as Evick Spring, Daniel Spring, and Government Spring, which historically supported movement through these uplands.

A complex network of forest development roads, including Sunflower Flat Rd and Kelly Gulch Rd, provides access across the various gulches like McCubbins Gulch and Byzantine Gulch. To the south, the terrain rises toward Simnasho Butte, marking a transition in the physical geography of the region. The prominence of features like Quartz Butte and Rainbow Rock suggests a geologist's or surveyor's interest in the distinct volcanic and sedimentary formations of the area.
