2020 Map of Mount Mitchell

About this map

Mt Mitchell and Oak Grove Butte anchor this high-elevation section of the Mount Hood National Forest as it appeared in 2020. This landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River and the lower Clackamas Wild and Scenic River, where the terrain drops significantly toward the area known as Big Bottom. The map documents a complex network of forest hydrology, ranging from the high Hideaway Lake and Cottonwood Meadows to localized water sources like Devils Spring and Steep Spring. These features, along with the Clackamas River Hwy following the southern riverbank, reveal a region managed for both conservation and mountain access. For those studying the geography of Clackamas County, the map provides precise locations for remote landmarks such as Rimrock and Lake Harriet, showing the modern boundaries and road systems that thread through these mountain townships.
