About this map

The Barlow Road winds through the high terrain of the Mount Hood National Forest, tracing a corridor of immense significance to the history of the Oregon Trail. This mid-1990s survey by the U.S. Forest Service identifies historical transit points such as Barlow Crossing and the White River Station along the White River. The landscape is a complex network of high-elevation drainages including Boulder Creek and Cedar Creek, punctuated by several resource extraction sites like the Green Lakes Quarry and Rimtie Quarry.

South of the forest boundary lies the northern edge of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, marked by the 1887 Mc Quinn Line. Significant crossings and junctions, including Clean Creek Crossing and Warm Springs Junction, highlight the intersection of mid-century infrastructure with older territorial boundaries. This map provides a detailed view of the Camas Prairie and surrounding peaks like Dobry Point and Post Point, illustrating the geography where the Cascade Range meets the interior plateau.
