About this map

Soosap Peak rises as a prominent landmark within the Mt Hood National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Mollala River and its North Fork. This 1990s revision by the USDA Forest Service illustrates a high-elevation environment where industrial land use meets protected wilderness. Numerous labeled Quarry sites are scattered throughout the drainages of Dead Horse Canyon and Lukens Rock Creek, indicating active timber road maintenance or local resource extraction.

Remote infrastructure is meticulously documented, including the High Camp Lookout and a Communication Tower near Cougar Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of the forest's water resources, from the alpine waters of Emerald Lake and Williams Lake to the complex network of mountain streams like Doodle Creek and Cougar Creek. The inclusion of the First Standard Parallel South provides a critical surveying reference point for this portion of Clackamas County.
