About this map

The Warm Springs River and its numerous tributaries, including Badger Creek and Mill Creek, define the water-rich landscape of this central Oregon territory. In the early 1960s, this area reflects a mix of remote wilderness and resource management, evidenced by the presence of the Old Mill Camp and a small Airstrip near Sawmill Butte. Grazing and land use are marked by named areas such as Schoolie Pasture and Peters Pasture, while the topography is punctuated by prominent volcanic features like Fort Butte, Badger Butte, and the Sidwalter Buttes. The high-elevation terrain is further characterized by numerous small lakes and meadows, including Trout Lake, Blue Lake, and Cedar Meadow. A network of primitive routes, such as the Skyline Trail and the Bypass Trail, provide access through the Mount Hood National Forest, highlighting the area's legacy as a site for both industry and backcountry travel.
