About this map

The Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Mount Hood National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape of the Cascade Range. Marking the shared boundary, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the western portion of the map, providing a glimpse into the recreation and conservation patterns of the mid-1990s. The terrain is defined by volcanic features like Fort Butte and deposits of Lava, while numerous high-country marshes such as Camas Prairie, Warm Springs Meadow, and Lemiti Meadow dot the drainage basins.

Water is central to the geography here, with the Warm Springs River and its South Fork Warm Springs River carving through the reservation land. The presence of a Cinder Pit near the headwaters of Badger Creek reflects the region's geological history and localized resource extraction. This survey preserves the remote intersection of Wasco, Clackamas, and Marion counties during a period of active forest management.
