About this map

Mt Wilson and the surrounding highlands of the Mount Hood National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Clackamas and Wasco counties. The area is characterized by a series of prominent peaks, including Summit Butte, Buckskin Butte, and Wests Butte, which overlook the headwaters of the Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River and the Warm Springs River.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the western portion of the map, passing through Red Wolf Pass as it winds north toward Big Meadows. Evidence of early access to these remote reaches is found in the naming of the Mount Wilson Schoolie Rd and the First Standard Parallel South. Natural water sources, critical for early travelers and livestock, are documented at Cold Spring, Willow Springs, and Deadman Spring near the eastern drainage of Beaver Butte Cr.
