About this map

Olallie Butte dominates the skyline of this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of Marion, Jefferson, and Wasco counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of volcanic peaks and alpine lakes, spanning the divide between Mount Hood National Forest and Willamette National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the wilderness character of the area, centered on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds past Olallie Meadow and numerous small water bodies like Jude Lake and Russ Lake.

The hydrography is notably complex, with the headwaters of the Clackamas River and Olallie Creek carving through the slopes. Prominent volcanic features including Potato Butte, Pyramid Butte, and Double Peaks provide a clear view of the Cascades' geological profile. The map also records essential forestry infrastructure, such as Skyline Road and several national forest development roads, which provide the primary access to this remote lake-land region.
