1997 Map of Rhododendron

About this map

Rhododendron and its neighboring villages serve as the gateway to the high Cascades along the Sandy River corridor during the late 1990s. The settlement pattern here reflects the long history of recreation and travel toward the mountain, evidenced by established landmarks like Camp Arrah Wanna, the Mt Hood Golf Course, and the Wildwood Recreation Site. While modern roads dominate the valley floor, older routes are preserved in the landscape through the Pioneer Bridle Trail and the noted Tollgate, which recall the difficult passage taken by earlier travelers.
