About this map

The South Santiam River and its northern counterpart, the Middle Santiam River, carve deep through this portion of the Cascade Range in Linn County. This modern survey illustrates a landscape dominated by timber management and hydroelectric storage, notably at Green Peter Lake and the eastern edge of Foster Lake. The network of logging infrastructure is evident through named routes like the GP200 Logging Rd and Quartzville Dr, which reflect the region's industrial foundations.

Local history is preserved in the small settlement of Cascadia and the isolated Spring Family Cem near Greenhorn Hill. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive peaks and landmarks such as Bald Peter, Shot Pouch Butte, and Whisky Butte, while low-lying areas like Dundon Flat provide a contrast to the steep ridges. The presence of Short Bridge near the eastern margin marks a traditional crossing point where the river and Hufford Rd meet, serving as a primary corridor through these valleys.
