1994 Map of Mount Bruno

About this map

The North Santiam River carves a deep valley through the high country of the Cascades on the boundary of Marion Co and Linn Co. This 1994 snapshot of the central Oregon wilderness shows a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the summit of Mount Bruno to the high alpine Wild Cheat Meadow. The map highlights the intersection of the Willamette National Forest and the Mt Jefferson Wilderness, documenting a network of trails and primitive access points like the McCoy Shelter. Water is the dominant sculptor of this terrain, with drainage systems like Whitewater Creek and Woodpecker Creek feeding the larger river system. To the north, the South Fork Breitenbush River flows past high points like Outerson Mtn and Triangulation Peak, providing a detailed record of the region's hydrography and topography before the turn of the millennium.
