About this map

Keel Mtn serves as the dominant high point in this section of the Oregon Cascades, where a dense network of watercourses defines the timber-heavy landscape. The map reveals an intricate drainage system feeding into Crabtree Creek and its southern counterpart, South Fork Crabtree Creek. These waterways, along with others like Bald Peter Creek and Green Mountain Creek, carve deep into the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of the region.

A notable geographic feature is Billy Lake, positioned near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The township and range boundaries, including t11s r2e and t12s r2e, provide a legal framework for this wilderness, which is marked by numerous smaller tributaries such as Thistle Creek and Whitcomb Creek. This survey offers a high-resolution view of the area's contemporary logging and forest management infrastructure as it stood in the early 2020s.
