About this map

Mount Hood National Forest encompasses the entirety of this mountainous terrain in Clackamas and Marion counties. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage network and prominent heights, centered around the Mt Lowe summit. A complex system of ridges, most notably Rhododendron Ridge, separates various basins that feed into the Clackamas Wild and Scenic River and the Collawash Wild and Scenic River.

High-altitude clearings like Jim Meadow, Bob Meadow, and Fawn Meadow are interspersed throughout the timbered slopes, while Graham Pass provides a transition between the northern and southern watersheds. Small alpine water features, including Round Lake and isolated sources such as Tarzan Springs and Fadeaway Spring, punctuate the wilderness. The eastern boundary is marked by the Clackamas River Hwy, the primary corridor through this protected forest environment.
