About this map

Mount Hood Wilderness dominates the landscape of this 1990s survey, revealing the high-elevation terrain of the mountain's northern face. The map detail highlights the Cloud Cap - Tilly Jane Historic Area, where the Cloud Cap Inn and Tilly Jane Guard Station stand as significant backcountry landmarks. Moving down from the glacial heights of the Eliot Glacier and Ladd Glacier, the terrain drops toward Laurance Lake, an impoundment created by the Clear Branch Dam.

The survey captures the complex drainage systems of the Middle Fork Hood River and its various branches, alongside industrial markers like the Dollar Quarry and Clear Creek Quarry. Recreational and mountaineering features are clearly marked, including the Cairn Shelter near Eden Park and the prominent McNeil Point. These features illustrate the intersection of conservation, historic preservation, and resource management on the slopes of Mount Hood.
