1996 Map of Mount Hood South

About this map

The massive southern slopes of Mount Hood dominate this landscape, where the high-altitude environment is defined by glaciers such as Reid, Zigzag, and White River Glacier. The map documents a complex overlay of historic transportation routes and modern recreational infrastructure during the late twentieth century. The legendary Barlow Road traces its way through the mountain's lower reaches, intersecting with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail near Barlow Pass. Human presence is concentrated around the historic Timberline Lodge and the settlement of Government Camp, while the Mount Hood Meadows Ski Area and Snowbunny Lodge highlight the area's development for winter sports. Deeper in the timber, landmarks like the Pioneer Womans Grave at Summit Meadows and the Paradise Park Shelter provide tangible links to the region's long history of traversal and mountaineering.
