2020 Map of Harter Mountain

About this map

The Willamette National Forest encompasses this section of the Cascade Range, where high ridges and deep river drainages define the landscape. Historical transit is preserved here through the Santiam Wagon Road W, a crucial artery for early travel through these mountains. The terrain is dominated by significant peaks such as Harter Mtn, Iron Mountain, and Chimney Peak, which rise above the confluence of the Middle Santiam River and the South Santiam River. The map highlights specialized environments like Tombstone Prairie near Tombstone Pass, offering insights into the high-altitude meadows and natural clearings that served as landmarks for travelers and pioneers navigating the steep valleys of Soda Fork and Sevenmile Creek.
