2017 Map of Three Lynx

About this map

The settlement of Three Lynx sits at the confluence of several major waterways within the Mount Hood National Forest, serving as a central point in this high-altitude landscape. The area is defined by the dramatic descent of the N Fork Clackamas River and the Roaring River, which carve through deep valleys below ridges like Indian Ridge and Fish Creek Divide. Significant elevation changes are marked by landmarks such as Tumala Mtn and Sheepshead Rock, while several high-mountain lakes, including Tumala Lakes, Shining Lake, and Serene Lake, dot the eastern terrain. A network of Forest Service roads, including the historical Abbott Rd and Pipeline Rd, provides access to this timber-rich region. The map captures the complex drainage patterns of numerous creeks like Three Lynx Cr and Boyer Cr, illustrating the hydrographic importance of this watershed for the Clackamas River basin.
