About this map

Mt Hood National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Laughlin Hills transition into the high-elevation terrain of Foreman Point. The 1962 field-checked data captures a critical boundary through the center of the sheet: the Old Indian Reservation Boundary (Handley Line - 1871), which separates the forest from the Indian Reservation Boundary lands to the south. This historical line provides a specific marker of late-19th-century land administration in Wasco County.

Water sources such as Erick Spring, Daniel Spring, and Coyote Spring are scattered across the terrain, vital for the region's ranching and forestry history. The map also records early industrial and transit markers, including the Rainbow Quarry and the Beaver Cr Driveway. The small settlement at Dahl Pine and the Foreman Point Lookout represent the human footprint in this high-desert and timber country before later modernization changed the layout of forest service operations and local access.
