About this map

Irish Mtn and the Cascade Range define this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundary between Lane County and Deschutes County bisects a dense network of glacial lakes and volcanic peaks. The area is a nexus of protected lands, including the Three Sisters Wilderness, Waldo Lake Wilderness, and the Willamette National Forest.

A complex system of trails, notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Metolius-Windigo Trail, connects dozens of named water bodies such as Kinnikinnic Lake, Stormy Lake, and the remote Barbie Lakes. High points like Pillar Peak and Lemish Butte overlook a terrain largely defined by its lack of modern road infrastructure, preserved instead for backcountry recreation and timber management near Clover Meadow.
