About this map

John B Yeon State Park and the surrounding wilderness of the Mt Hood National Forest define this 1970s landscape along the Oregon-Washington border. The terrain is marked by a high density of named waterfalls and peaks, including Elowah Falls, Wahe Falls, and the prominent Tanner Butte. The northern edge follows the Columbia River, where the Union Pacific railroad parallels the shore near Pierce Island and Ives Island.

Resource management and recreation patterns are evident through the network of specialized trails, such as the Messmith Trail and Cutoff Trail, alongside the presence of several Borrow Pits and a Borrow Pit in the forest interior. Significant hydrological features like Tanner Lake, Dublin Lake, and Tenas Camp Falls illustrate the complex drainage systems feeding into the Columbia, while the Base Line survey mark provides a historical reference point for land division in the region.
