1997 Map of Huckleberry Mountain

About this map

Huckleberry Mountain and the deep drainage of the Salmon Creek watershed dominate this late-twentieth-century landscape in the Willamette National Forest. The map reflects a region defined by complex hydrology and high-elevation landforms, from the prominent Bunchgrass Ridge in the south to the secluded waters of Mehaloose Lake and Huckleberry Lake near the summit of the central massif. The presence of a lookout on the mountain and a gaging station near Salmon Creek Falls suggests the area's importance for forest management and water resource monitoring. Numerous smaller tributaries, including Wall Creek and Trapper Creek, feed into the primary river system, while several quarries indicate localized resource extraction within the forest boundaries. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness infrastructure of the 1990s, recording the primitive roads and trails that navigate the steep terrain of Devils Canyon and Eagle Butte.
