1997 Map of Grasshopper Mountain

About this map

Grasshopper Mountain and Grasshopper Point dominate the central landscape of this section of the Willamette National Forest, where steep drainages define the hydrology of Lane County. The South Fork McKenzie River winds through the northeast, while the North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River follows the southern boundary alongside the Robert Aufderheide Memorial Dr. This 1990s survey illustrates a heavily managed forest environment, marked by numerous quarries and a complex network of forest roads. The presence of a Homestead near the South Fork McKenzie River provides a specific point of interest for local historians, situated between the protected boundaries of the Three Sisters Wilderness and the Waldo Lake Wilderness. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Hiyu Ridge and Hardy Ridge down into deep creek basins like Augusta Creek and Hardy Creek.
