2014 Map of Hamilton Buttes

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the confluence of several mountain ridges and river headwaters creates a complex geographical profile. The area is defined by significant topographical landmarks such as Stonewall Ridge, Mission Mtn, and the distinctive Hamilton Buttes. A network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 2208 and Nat For Dev Rd 2160, provides access to these elevations and the small Berry Patch settlement. The hydrology is dominated by the Cispus River and its North Fork, alongside isolated alpine features like Saint John Lake, Chambers Lake, and the aptly named Wobbly Lake. These water bodies and peaks like Elk Peak and Goat Ridge reflect a landscape preserved for its natural character and vital watershed functions within the Cascades.
