2020 Map of Rhododendron

About this map

Zigzag and Rhododendron anchor this mountain landscape within the Mount Hood National Forest, where residential developments are concentrated along the corridor of the Zigzag River. The map reveals a dense network of local roads and community clusters such as Wemme, Welches, and Mount Hood Village, illustrating the long-standing recreational and residential appeal of the area. Significant topographical features like Zigzag Mtn and Hunchback Mtn dominate the northern and eastern reaches, while the Salmon Wild and Scenic River defines the southern drainage. Historical travel is evidenced by the Pioneer Bridle trail and E Barlow Trail Rd, marking the enduring path of westward migration. Other notable landmarks include the Mountain Air Park and the distinct geological bench at Crutcher Bench, situated above the Sandy River.
