About this map

Lionshead stands as a prominent topographical focal point in this 2020 survey of Jefferson County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including the Whitewater River and Shitike Cr, which carve through the northern reach of the Deschutes National Forest. This section of the Cascades reveals a landscape primarily accessible via a complex system of forest and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) roads, such as Bia RD 43 and NW Bald Peter Rd, reflecting the modern management of these timberlands and protected areas.

High-elevation landmarks like Bald Peter and Camp Creek Butte overlook a series of seasonal pastures and passes, notably Peters Pasture and Biddle Pass. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, where numerous named tributaries such as Milk Cr and Lionshead Cr feed into larger river systems. This data provides a clear view of the high-altitude geography as it stood in the early 21st century, illustrating the intersection of natural watercourses and the established forest transit network.
