About this map

McCredie Springs and its namesake McCredie Hot Springs anchor this portion of the Willamette National Forest, where the terrain is defined by the deep drainage of Salt Creek. This 1997 revision captures the landscape's dual character as a recreational destination and a managed timber resource, evidenced by the numerous quarries and gravel pits scattered across the high ridges.

Thermal features like Kitson Hot Springs and the striking Blue Pool reflect the region's volcanic geography, while landmarks such as Heckletooth Mountain and Bunchgrass Ridge dominate the skyline. Small rail-side or roadside settlements like Fields, Wicopee, and Frazier mark the corridor through the mountains. For those tracing the history of the Cascades, the map details the high-elevation meadows of Crabapple Prairie and the intricate network of tributaries including Warner Creek and Foundry Creek.
