About this map

Mt Jefferson dominates this high-altitude landscape, serving as a convergence point for the Willamette, Mt Hood, and Deschutes National Forest, alongside the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The 1988 survey details the intricate glacial systems radiating from the peak, including the Whitewater, Russell, and Waldo Glaciers.

Tracing the high ridges, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through alpine meadows and volcanic features like Cathedral Rocks and The Table. The map provides a look at the hydrologic headwaters of the region, where Pamelia Lake and numerous high-country tarns such as Shale Lake and Coyote Lake feed into the Breitenbush and Whitewater River systems. Local topography is further defined by landmarks like Grizzly Peak and the unique formation at Hole in the Wall Park.
