About this map

Mount Hood National Forest defines this high-elevation wilderness where the Clackamas River and the E Fork Collawash River carve deep drainages through the Cascades. The map details a landscape of prominent peaks and open meadows, including Mount Lowe, the Granite Peaks, and Burnt Granite. This 2014 survey documents the complex network of Forest Service roads, such as National Forest Development Road 46, which provides access to remote features like Round Lake and Graham Pass.

A legacy of naming is evident in the numerous clearings and water sources throughout the terrain. Named meadows like Rhododendron Meadow, Bob Meadow, and Eds Meadow suggest established grazing or camping sites, while features such as Tarzan Springs and Fadeaway Spring highlight the critical role of water for those navigating the Rhododendron Ridge. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Clackamas County and Marion County as it crosses this forested upland.
