About this map

The Cascade Range divides the high elevations of the Willamette National Forest in this 2014 survey. This portion of the mountains is defined by a high density of alpine water features and dramatic vertical drops, including Linton Lake and the nearby Linton Falls. The transportation network relies on a mix of modern forest development roads and the historic route of the Old Mc Kenzie Hwy, which winds through the center of the sheet near Alder Springs.

Glacial geography is evident in the cluster of small lakes in the north, such as Tenas Lakes, Benson Lake, and Island Lake. Open highland meadows like Fingerboard Prairie and Spruce Meadow punctuate the timbered slopes, while prominent peaks including Scott Mtn and Two Butte provide significant landmarks for navigating the high Cascades. The map also records several notable cascades on the southern slopes, specifically Proxy Falls and Rainbow Falls, which are fed by the drainage of Proxy Cr and Rainbow Cr.
