2017 Map of Tamolitch Falls

About this map

McKenzie River drainage dominates this section of the Willamette National Forest along the Cascade Range. The landscape is defined by its dramatic water features and engineering, including the famous Tamolitch Falls and the downstream Trail Bridge Reservoir. This 2017 survey details the complex hydraulic system of the upper river, where the Smith Reservoir and Carmen Reservoir are linked by a network of forest development roads. The terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Browder Ridge, Wildcat Mtn, and Bunchgrass Mtn, which overlook a series of deep drainages including Gate Cr and Deer Cr. For those studying the recreational development of the area, the map traces the McKenzie River NRT and local loops like the Isaac Nickerson Loop and Prairie View Loop that navigate these ridges.
