1997 Map of Three Lynx

About this map

Three Lynx sits at the confluence of the Clackamas River and Three Lynx Creek, serving as a focal point for this 1990s survey of the Cascade foothills. The topography is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Roaring River and the South Fork Eagle Creek, with elevations rising sharply toward Indian Ridge and Squaw Mtn. Industrial activity is evidenced by the North Fork Quarry and the Winslow Spur Gravel Pit, located near the western flats. High-altitude meadows and water bodies like Squaw Meadow and Huxley Lake are tucked into the drainages of the Mt Hood National Forest. To the northeast, the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness protects the headwaters of Shining Creek, showcasing the transition from managed timber and extraction sites to preserved wilderness areas.
