1997 Map of Government Camp

About this map

Government Camp serves as the central hub of this alpine landscape, appearing in the late 1990s as a well-established gateway to the southern slopes of Mount Hood. The map details a complex network of recreational and natural landmarks, including the Ski Bowl and Multorpor Winter Sports Area and the high-elevation Zigzag East Lookout. This area is defined by its deep canyons and ridges, notably Zigzag Canyon and Tom Dick and Harry Mountain, which divide the drainages of the Zigzag River and Still Creek. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is present through the Laurel Hill Quarry and the Sewage Disposal facility near Enid Lake. Geologically, the terrain transitions from the protected Mount Hood Wilderness in the north to the Salmon-Muckleberry Wilderness in the south, separated by the historic transit corridor over Laurel Hill.
