About this map

Three Lynx stands at the southern edge of this Clackamas County wilderness, marking a rare point of human settlement amidst a complex network of waterways. The Clackamas River and its numerous tributaries, including the North Fork Clackamas River and the Roaring River, carve through the terrain, punctuated by significant landmarks like The Narrows. This 2011 survey documents the density of high-elevation lakes and recreational points that define the area's modern character, from Huxley Lake to Serene Lake.

The landscape is characterized by a mix of forest management and backcountry access, with established sites such as Whitewater Forest Camp, Twin Springs Forest Camp, and the Lookout Springs Campground. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks and meadows, including Tumala Mountain, Tumala Meadow, and Sheepshead Rock, which offer vantage points over the drainage basins of Eagle Creek and the South Fork Roaring River.
