About this map

The Willamette National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape within the Cascade Range, where the terrain is carved by an intricate network of drainages and peaks. Significant landmarks such as Sardine Butte, Ingram Butte, and Battle Peak stand above the drainage basins of Fall Creek and Christy Creek. The map documents a heavily managed forest environment, indicated by an extensive system of forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 1927 RD and Nat For Dev Rd 19.

Local geographic features provide specific points of interest for researchers, such as the level ground at Christy Flats and the prominent Buffalo Rock. Smaller water sources like Salt Springs and numerous creeks like Sidewalk Creek and Winterock Creek highlight the watershed's complexity. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of timber management and recreational access through the detailed naming of ridges and canyons like Indian Ridge and Devils Canyon.
