About this map

Warm Springs Meadows and Schoolie Pasture lie at the heart of this landscape, marking the intersection of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Mount Hood National Forest. The geography is defined by numerous buttes and drainages, including the Warm Springs River and the complex forks of Mill Creek. A network of high-elevation trails and forest roads connects remote outposts such as Old Mill Camp, where an airstrip and jeep trails indicate mid-century resource management and accessibility efforts.

Local landmarks such as Fort Butte and Sidwalter Buttes stand as prominent topographic anchors, while named meadows like Camas Prairie and Cedar Meadow suggest seasonal grazing or traditional land use patterns. This 1961 field-checked survey preserves the administrative boundaries of the era, specifically the Campbell Line of 1911, which dictated forest management and tribal land jurisdiction for decades.
