2014 Map of Mount Mitchell

About this map

Mount Mitchell and Oak Grove Butte stand as the primary landmarks in this high-elevation portion of the Mount Hood National Forest. The landscape is defined by the deep canyons of the Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River and the Clackamas River, which converge near several small forest settlements and recreational clearings. Cottonwood Meadows and Big Bottom indicate the flatter riparian areas where seasonal habitation or forestry operations traditionally clustered. Transportation in this 2014 survey is limited to winding forest access routes like Ripplebrook Rd and Oak Grove Fork Rd, alongside several National Forest Development roads. For researchers of the Cascade Range, the map provides precise locations for remote water sources and peaks, including Hideaway Lake, Lake Harriet, Devils Spring, and the confluence of numerous creeks such as Shellrock Cr and Lightning Cr.
