2014 Map of French Mountain

About this map

French Mountain and the surrounding high country of the Willamette National Forest define this 2014 topographic study of Lane County. This portion of the Cascade Range is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, where the E Fork S Fork McKenzie River is joined by numerous drainages including Avenue Cr, Separation Cr, and Horse Cr. The area is marked by significant peaks such as Horsepasture Mtn, English Mtn, and Pyramid Mtn, which frame high-elevation open spaces like Wolverine Meadow and Olallie Meadows. These features illustrate the complex hydrology of the western Cascades, where glacial or volcanic landforms like The Potholes and alpine waters such as Karl Lake and Ruth Lake punctuate the heavily forested and ridged terrain.
