1988 Map of Mt. Jefferson

About this map

Mt Jefferson dominates the center of this 1980s landscape, serving as the high point where the Mount Jefferson Wilderness meets the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The map details a complex glacial system radiating from the peak, including the Whitewater Glacier, Russell Glacier, and Waldo Glacier. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the high alpine country, passing landmark basins like Jefferson Park and the turquoise waters of Pamelia Lake. This survey captures the wilderness character of the Oregon Cascades at a time when the boundaries of the Willamette, Mt. Hood, and Deschutes National Forests converge at this volcanic summit. Geologic and recreational points such as Cathedral Rocks and Hole in the Wall Park provide reference for backcountry navigation and environmental study.
