2011 Map of McCredie Springs

About this map

McCredie Springs serves as the focal point for this high-elevation region in the Willamette National Forest, where the thermal geography of McCredie Hot Springs and Kitson Hot Springs has long drawn interest. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of Salt Creek and Hills Creek, carved between prominent peaks such as Heckletooth Mountain and Cougar Mountain. Evidence of forest management and fire observation is found at the Little Bunchgrass Lookout and the network of Forest Service roads, including Hills Creek Rd. Small rail-and-road outposts like Wicopee, Fields, and Frazier trace the corridor through the mountains, while recreational sites like Gate Creek Forest Camp near Crabapple Prairie indicate the area's transition into a destination for outdoorsmen.
