2024 Map of Rhododendron

About this map

The Mount Hood National Forest corridor along the Sandy River and Zigzag River is defined by a dense string of mountain communities, including Wemme, Welches, Zigzag, and Rhododendron. This 2024 map details the modern landscape where residential pockets like Wildwood and Mountain Air Park meet protected wilderness areas. The geography is dominated by high ridges such as Hunchback Mountain and Enola Hill, while the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness protects the southern reaches of the quadrangle. A vast network of hiking and historic routes, including the Pioneer Bridle Trl and Bonanza Trl, reflects the area's transition from an early pioneer thoroughfare to a premier outdoor recreation hub. The presence of the Kloshe Chuck Reservoir and numerous named creeks like Still Creek and Hackett Creek highlights the critical watershed management within these forested lands.
