About this map

The sharp spire of Three Fingered Jack dominates this high-elevation landscape where the Mt Jefferson Wilderness meets the Mt Washington Wilderness. This 1990s revision reveals a complex network of recreational and transit history, anchored by the Old Santiam Wagon Road and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The map details the transition from the Willamette National Forest to the Deschutes National Forest, capturing the rugged topography of the Cascades as it was managed at the close of the century.

Water and winter recreation are central themes, from the developed Hoodoo Ski Bowl and Suttle Lake in the southeast to the cluster of remote alpine tarns like Square Lake and Jack Lake. Genealogists and local historians can trace the paths of mid-20th-century shelters, including the North Blowout and Island Junction Shelter, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and Historical Monument near Hogg Rock indicates the area's ongoing intersection of industrial use and conservation.
