About this map

Government Camp serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, positioned along the corridor where the Zigzag River and Camp Creek converge. The 2011 survey details the settlement's local infrastructure, including the Government Camp Post Office and its proximity to prominent recreational sites such as the Mount Hood Ski Bowl Winter Sport Area. The geography is defined by high-elevation peaks and basins, from the heights of Tom Dick and Harry Mountain and Multorpor Mountain to the deep depressions of Zigzag Canyon and Devil Canyon.

Water features are abundant throughout the quadrangle, with numerous high-altitude lakes like Mirror Lake, Enid Lake, and Collins Lake dotting the terrain. The map records a network of forest roads including Still Creek Rd and Kinzel Lake Rd, which provide access to remote landmarks such as the Zigzag East Lookout and Yocum Falls. This detailed charting of the Clackamas County backcountry captures the intersection of historical transit routes, such as Laurel Hill, with modern wilderness management and recreation.
