About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this 2017 survey, where the peaks of the Cascade Range dominate the landscape. The area is defined by its complex network of drainages, most notably Fall Creek, which is flanked by the Fall Creek National Recreation area. Local topography is marked by significant high points including Sinker Mountain, Elephant Rock, and Gold Point.

Logging and forest management infrastructure is evident through the extensive system of forest roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 1835 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 642 Rd, which navigate the steep divides of Marine Ridge and Alpine Ridge. The drainage patterns show a clear orientation toward the west, with named tributaries like Chalk Creek, Portland Creek, and Perdue Creek feeding the larger watershed.
