2017 Map of Lionshead

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this section of Jefferson County, characterized by a complex drainage system feeding the Whitewater River and several major creeks. The topography is defined by prominent high points such as Lionshead, Camp Creek Butte, and the summit of Bald Peter. Hydrological management is evidenced by the Camp Creek Reservoir in the central portion of the quadrangle, which captures flow from Camp Creek. The map details a network of forest roads and land divisions, including numbered blocks like PB 40 and PB 41, while providing clear coordinates for navigating the varied elevations between Biddle Pass and the lowlands of Peters Pasture. Numerous waterways including Shitike Creek, Milk Creek, and Jefferson Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural watershed patterns of the Oregon Cascades in the early 21st century.
