About this map

Three Lynx stands at the confluence of several major waterways within the Mount Hood National Forest, where the river network dictates the geography of this Clackamas County region. The Clackamas River and its designated wild and scenic reaches, including the Roaring Wild and Scenic River, carve deep canyons through the high-elevation terrain. This modern survey illustrates how Oregon State Highway 224 follows the river's path, providing the primary access point to the remote settlement of Three Lynx and its surrounding watershed.

Elevated points like Githens Mtn, Tumala Mtn, and Old Baldy overlook a landscape dotted with high-mountain water bodies such as Shining Lake, Serene Lake, and the Tumala Lakes. Notable landforms including The Narrows on the river and the Fish Creek Divide highlight the topographical complexity of the area, while meadows like Cache Meadow and Tumala Meadow offer localized breaks in the dense forest cover.
