About this map

Mt Hood National Forest dominates this mid-1980s terrain, where the Clackamas River carves a deep path through the timbered highlands of Clackamas Co. The landscape is defined by its water resources and recreational sites, from the quiet waters of Lake Harriet to the high-elevation Cottonwood Meadows. Industrial and utility footprints are visible in the numerous quarry sites and the two steel tower trans lines that cut across the topography south of the river.

Evidence of forest management and access is found at the Oak Grove Campground and the Shellrock Creek Campground, while hydrologic monitoring is marked by a Gaging Station along the river. These features, combined with prominent peaks like Mt Mitchell and Oak Grove Butte, reveal a landscape managed for both timber production and public recreation during the late twentieth century. Smaller tributaries such as Kelley Creek and Peavine Creek illustrate the complex drainage system feeding into the main river corridor.
