About this map

Metolius Wild and Scenic River and the high elevations of Green Ridge dominate this section of the Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, from the main channel of the Metolius River to smaller drainages like Prairie Farm Cr and Meadow Creek. The naming of Prairie Farm Spring and Six Creek Spring suggests the vital importance of natural water sources in this high-altitude environment, where much of the terrain is managed for conservation and wilderness protection.

Logistics and recreation in this area revolve around the river, anchored by Bridge 99 and a system of hiking paths including the W Metolius River Trail and E Metolius River Trail. Numerous forest roads, such as J-193 Rd, provide access through the complex topography of the ridge, which separates the river valley from the high plateau to the east marked by Alder Spring and the headwaters of Street Creek.
