About this map

Mt Hood stands at the center of this 1924 survey, serving as the source for the radiating drainages of the Sandy River, Zigzag River, and Salmon River. The mountain is detailed with its named glaciers and high ridges, including Cooper Spur and Illumination Rock. Along the southwestern approaches, early recreation and logging infrastructure is visible through the Zigzag Ranger Station and settlements like Rhododendron, Welches, and Tawneys.

Lower in the quadrangle, the Barlow Pass and Lolo Pass mark historical transportation corridors, while the Skyline Trail winds through the Mount Hood National Forest. The southern portion reveals the high meadows and remote waters of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, including Dry Creek Spring and Mt Wilson. Significant early landmarks like the Homestead Inn and Government Camp indicate the transition of this landscape into a premier destination for early 20th-century travelers.
