1998 Map of Spencer Butte

About this map

The Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by sharp volcanic topography and the high-elevation drainage basins of the Lewis River. Revised in the late 1990s, this map reveals a complex network of forest access roads and primitive routes like the Wildcat Trail, which navigate the steep elevations between Spencer Butte and Spencer Peak. The southern reach of the map features the Lower Falls Recreation Area, a key point of interest for those studying the recreational development of the Cascades.
