About this map

The North Santiam River carves through the timber-rich landscape of the Oregon Cascades, anchoring the settlements of Idanha and New Idanha. This mountain terrain, located within the Willamette National Forest, highlights a history of industrial forestry evidenced by the Idanha Log Pond. The map shows a transition from river-bottom activity to high-elevation backcountry, where prominent peaks like Bachelor Mtn and the stretches of Coopers Ridge and Hoover Ridge define the local topography.

Water is a defining characteristic of this sheet, from the engineered Gold Spring Reservoir to numerous alpine basins like Mud Puppy Lake, Rainbow Lake, and Bear Lake. A network of forest routes, such as the Bugaboo Ridge Trl and various segments of the Boulder-Ridge Route Trl, connects the isolated meadows and creek drainages, including Bruno Creek and McCoy Creek, providing a detailed view of the region's 21st-century conservation and recreation infrastructure.
