2014 Map of High Rock

About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this topographic study of Clackamas County, revealing a landscape defined by sharp peaks and a dense network of mountain water. Prominent landmarks such as Salmon Butte and Frazier Mtn provide the vertical relief for a drainage system that feeds the Salmon River and Roaring River. Geologists and outdoorsmen will find interest in the concentration of named waterfalls near the northern boundary, including Little Niagara Falls, Final Falls, and Pulsating Falls. Historic access routes like Abbott Rd and Nat For Dev Rd Road 140 navigate the high ridges, connecting isolated alpine features like High Rock and Rock Lakes Basin. The area around Shellrock Lake and Cache Meadow highlights the transition between timbered slopes and high-elevation basins typical of the Oregon Cascades in the early 21st century.
