About this map

McKenzie Bridge and the small riverside community of Rainbow serve as the primary gateways to this section of the Willamette National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the confluence of the McKenzie River and its numerous tributaries, including West Fork Horse Creek and Castle Creek. The topography rises sharply from the river valley toward prominent peaks like Lookout Mtn and O'Leary Mountain.

An extensive network of pathways, including the Lookout Creek Old Growth Trl and the King Castle Trl, illustrates the area's long-standing role in forest recreation and management. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the headwaters of the Cougar Reservoir, where Cougar Creek and King Creek flow through the deep drainages of the Cascade Range. This survey details the complex timber-access road systems that wind across Lookout Ridge and Foley Ridge, marking the intersection of the region's hydraulic resources and the high Cascades wilderness.
