About this map

Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Mount Hood National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundaries of Clackamas Co and Wasco Co intersect. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Mt Wilson and Buckskin Butte, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the western edge.

Hydrological features such as Clackamas Lake and the Clackamas River Big Meadows Fork indicate the headwaters of vital regional drainage systems. For the historian, the inclusion of the McQuinn Line - 1887 and Campbell Line 1871 provides critical reference for old land-claim surveys and territorial disputes. Scattered springs like Deadman Spring and Willow Springs point to the essential water sources that influenced both Indigenous movement and later forestry management.
