2011 Map of Mount Washington

About this map

The Dee Wright Observatory stands as a prominent landmark on this high-altitude landscape, situated along the crossing of McKenzie Pass. This 2011 survey documents a region defined by its volcanic geology and historical transit corridors, most notably the Old Santiam Wagon Rd winding through the northern terrain. The map captures a high-elevation environment where cinder cones and peaks like Mount Washington, Little Belknap, and Dugout Butte rise above a series of mountain water bodies. Pockets of activity are concentrated at the Seventh Day Adventist Organization Camp near Big Lake, while smaller features like Washington Ponds and Hortense Lake are dispersed across the wilderness. The drainage patterns of Cache Creek and Dry Creek emphasize the complex hydrology of this Oregon Cascades summit area.
