About this map

Saddleblanket Mountain and Winberry Mtn dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Willamette National Forest, where a complex network of forest development roads provides access to the steep drainage basins of the Cascade Range. The landscape is defined by the sharp vertical relief between the many tributary creeks and several prominent summits like Timber Butte and Clark Butte.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with the Fall Creek National Recreation area following the course of Fall Creek. This 2017 survey details the riparian environment around Chichester Falls and the headwaters of numerous streams, including the N Fork Fall Cr and N Fork Winberry Cr. The presence of Station Butte and various named forest roads suggests a landscape managed for timber and public recreation, characteristic of the modern Pacific Northwest forest economy.
