About this map

The Cascade Range defines the high-elevation landscape of this portion of the Willamette National Forest, where a complex network of glacial lakes and mountain peaks dominates the geography. Prominent summits like Scott Mtn and The Knobs rise above an environment characterized by water and meadow. The hydrological system is notably dense, featuring clustered water bodies such as Benson Lake, Irish Camp Lake, and the Tenas Lakes.

Dramatic vertical relief is evidenced by the presence of Linton Falls and Proxy Falls, marking the points where mountain streams descend toward the valleys. Grounded landmarks like Fingerboard Prairie and Spruce Meadow indicate natural openings in the timber, while the names of Alder Springs and Butte Spring reveal the vital water sources that shaped local land use. This survey captures the wilderness character of eastern Lane County, documenting the traditional paths like Scotty Way and the distinct volcanic features of Obsidian Cr.
