About this map

Mt Hood National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which was meticulously field checked in 1962 during a period of transition in forest management and recreational access. High-altitude landmarks such as the Hickman Butte Lookout on Hickman Butte and Burnt Peak provide oversight of the complex drainage networks feeding the Bull Run River and Sandy River. The presence of Red Cedar Camp and the winding Big Bend Trail suggests the area's ongoing importance for backcountry travel and resource administration.

A network of rugged forest arteries, including Lolo Pass Road and Aschoff Road, connects remote clearings like Old Maid Flat with the surrounding ridges. Named for local terrain features and perhaps early settlers, Aschoff Buttes and Goodfellow Lakes are nestled among steep drainages like Nanny Creek and Log Creek. This survey captures the primitive infrastructure of the Cascades before modern expansion, mapping the intricate hydrology of Deer Meadows and the headwaters of the Little Clear Creek.
