About this map

The Willamette National Forest and Three Sisters Wilderness define this high-altitude landscape in the late 1980s. A network of high peaks including Olallie Mtn, French Mtn, and English Mtn dominates the terrain, punctuated by unique geological and hydrological features like The Potholes and Quaking Aspen Swamp.

Logistical infrastructure for forest management is evident at the Olallie Guard Sta and the Lookout Tower atop Olallie Mountain, while the drainage systems of the McKenzie River and Separation Creek carve deep through the forested slopes. The map traces the Wilderness Boundary and numerous unnamed trails and pack routes that connect remote points such as Wolverine Meadow and Bear Flat, recording the area's transition into more restrictive conservation status during this era.
