About this map

Winema National Forest serves as the backdrop for this late 20th-century landscape, where recreation and resource management intersect in the High Cascades. The map highlights the developed southern shoreline of Lake of the Woods, featuring the Lake of the Woods Resort, Camp McLoughlin, and established campgrounds at Aspen Point and Rainbow Bay. This cluster of activity contrasts with the protected wilderness boundaries to the north and south, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure required to maintain this high-elevation retreat, including a State Highway Maintenance Sta and a Fire Guard Station.

Resource extraction and logistical networks are clearly delineated through multiple sites like the Fourmile Flat Quarry and several labeled Cinder Pits. To the north, the Sky Lakes Wilderness contains a dense network of high-country water bodies such as Fourmile Lake, Lake Bernice, and Horse Lake. These are connected by a system of primitive routes including the Fourmile Lake Trail and the Rye Spur Trail, alongside the utilitarian Rye Spur Canal and Cascade Canal Trail.
