About this map

Mt Hood dominates the northern landscape of this quadrangle, where the White River Glacier and Coalman Glacier descend from its high ridges. The map captures a vital crossroads for Oregon travelers, centered on the settlement of Government Camp. This area is rich in pioneer history, marked by sites such as the Pioneer Woman's Grave and the Baby Morgan Grave near Summit Meadows.

A complex network of heritage routes and modern paths crisscrosses the terrain, including the Barlow Trl, a historic branch of the Oregon Trail, and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl. The geography is defined by protected wilderness areas like the Mount Hood Wilderness and the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness, which preserve the drainages of the Zig Zag Wild and Scenic River and the Salmon Wild and Scenic River.
