2017 Map of Tanner Butte

About this map

Tanner Butte rises as a central landmark within the Mount Hood National Forest south of the Columbia River. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic vertical drops, indicated by numerous named cascades such as Wahclella Falls, Tanner Creek Falls, and Elowah Falls. In the northern section, the landscape meets the river at the Hamilton Island Reach, where Ives Island sits near the shore. The interior of the forest is accessed via timber and service routes like Tanner Creek Rd and Talapus Ridge Rd. These pathways lead toward high-elevation points like Mt Talapus and Eagle Butte. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions toward the Bull Run River drainage, showing a dense network of springs and ponds including Tanner Spring and Thrush Pond, essential water sources for the regional topography.
