2020 Map of French Mountain

About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Cascade Range, where a network of drainages like French Pete Cr and Horse Cr carve through prominent peaks. The topography is defined by significant summits such as French Mtn, Olallie Mtn, and Horsepasture Mtn. High-country meadows and specialized wetland features are scattered throughout the terrain, including the Quaking Aspen Swamp, Pothole Meadow, and Olallie Meadows. These features suggest a landscape managed for natural resource preservation and seasonal access, punctuated by distinct geological formations like Taylor Castle and The Potholes. Small alpine water bodies, specifically Karl Lake and Ruth Lake, sit near Lowder Mtn, highlighting the glaciated character of this portion of the Oregon wilderness.
