About this map

Mt Hood dominates the northern edge of this survey, its high-altitude geology revealed through labels like Steel Cliff, Crater Rock, and the Devils Kitchen fumarole area. The landscape drops steeply into glacier-carved features such as Zigzag Canyon and Mississippi Head, feeding a network of protected waterways including the Sandy Wild and Scenic River and the Zig Zag Wild and Scenic River.

Lower elevations show the intersection of pioneer history and modern recreation within the Mount Hood National Forest. The Barlow road and Pioneer Woman's Grave Trail mark the path of early travelers, while the vicinity of Summit Meadows and Pucci Glade reflects the region's development as a premier destination for winter sports and hiking. Numerous named Nordic and alpine routes, such as the Glade Ski Trail and Alpine Ski trail, crisscross the timberline near Trillium Lake.
