2024 Map of Hickman Butte

About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this section of the Cascade Range, where the high ridgelines of Hickman Butte and Burnt Peak overlook a dense network of mountain drainage. The headwaters of the Bull Run River and the Little Sandy River carve through the landscape, defined by dramatic elevation changes from the lowlands of Old Maid Flat to the summits of Big Bend Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn. This modern survey illustrates the conservation boundaries of the Mount Hood Wilderness, including the protected corridor of the Sandy Wild and Scenic River. Settlement is concentrated at the edge of the forest in Mount Hood Villages, while the interior remains a landscape of remote meadows and named rock formations like Thunder Rock and the Aschoff Buttes. The mapping of small water bodies such as Hickman Lake and Goodfellow Lakes suggests the hydrological importance of this area to the broader region.
