About this map

Mount Hood dominates this 1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by its glacial systems and the early infrastructure of the Mount Hood National Forest. The map documents the northern glacial reach, including the Ladd Glacier, Coe Glacier, and Eliot Glacier, which carve out prominent features like Barrett Spur and Stranahan Ridge. Civil works and recreational outposts are clustered on the lower slopes, anchored by the Clear Branch Dam and Laurance Lake.

Evidence of historical mountain travel and forest management is preserved through the locations of the Cloud Cap Inn and Tilly Jane Guard Station. The presence of the Timberline Trail and Cooper Spur Ski Trail shows the established recreational use of the high country, while the Lava River and various Gravel Pits indicate the geological and material resources of the area at the time of the 1962 field check.
