About this map

Mount Lowe dominates this portion of Clackamas County, overseeing a high-altitude landscape defined by its network of water sources and high ridges. The Clackamas River flows through the eastern sector, fed by numerous tributaries such as Pinhead Creek, Fall Creek, and Bowe Creek. The presence of Oh Boy Forest Camp and the Rhododendron Ridge Shelter reflects the area's importance for forest management and back-country recreation.

Genealogists and local historians can trace specific landmarks across the ridge, including Rhododendron Meadow and the aptly named Burnt Granite. The complex hydrology of the region is documented through specialized labels like Tarzan Springs, Fadeaway Spring, and Saddle Springs. This survey provides a clear view of the wilderness before contemporary shifts in forest usage, marking the positions of Round Lake and various open clearings like Bob Meadow and Eds Meadow used by those navigating the Graham Pass area.
