About this map

Three Fingered Jack and Mt Washington anchor this late 1950s survey of the High Cascades, where the Willamette National Forest meets the Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is dominated by volcanic features, from the massive lava fields around Belknap Crater and Little Belknap to the distinct profiles of Hoodoo Butte and Hayrick Butte. Settlement is sparse, centered on the strategic highway convergence at Santiam Junction.

Evidence of the region's transition into a recreational and transit corridor is clear, featuring the Hoodoo Ski Bowl and various roadside developments along the Santiam Highway. Traceable history remains in the Cache Creek Toll Station and the Dee Wright Observatory at McKenzie Pass. The map also captures numerous high-elevation water bodies like Duffy Lake and Suttle Lake, along with the early layout of Corbett Memorial State Park.
