About this map

McKenzie Bridge serves as the focal point of this Cascade Range survey, where the McKenzie River meets its southern and eastern tributaries. The settlement is anchored by the McKenzie Bridge Post Office and sits near the confluence of Horse Creek and the main river channel. To the west, the community of Rainbow lies near the riverbanks, just north of the significant geographic landmark Dearborn Island. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with peaks such as Castle Rock, Lookout Mountain, and Macduff Mountain looming over the river valley.

The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Cougar Reservoir, fed by the South Fork McKenzie River and Cougar Creek. Public land usage is evident through sites like the Echo Campground and Horse Creek Group Camp, while a network of forest roads, including McKenzie River Dr and Old Foley Ridge Rd, provides access to the surrounding ridges like Lookout Ridge. Numerous drainage systems such as McRae Creek, Lookout Creek, and King Creek carve through the mountain terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Willamette National Forest area.
