1930 Map of Mt. Jefferson

About this map

Mt Jefferson dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the boundaries of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, the Mount Hood National Forest, and the Deschutes National Forest converge. Surveyed in 1927, the map captures a period of early conservation and managed wilderness, centered on the Mt Jefferson Primitive Area. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, with the Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek flowing eastward across the reservation, while the Whitewater River and Breitenbush River head westward through the national forest lands.
