About this map

Tidbits Mtn and the surrounding peaks of the Cascade Range dominate this 2017 terrain survey on the border of Linn and Lane counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage network and high-elevation landmarks, including Soapgrass Mtn and the Twin Buttes. Water from the Gordon Lakes and Gordon Meadows feeds into Falls Cr, while the southern portion of the map traces the headwaters of the Calapooia River.

An intricate system of Forest Service roads, such as Gordon Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 303 Rd, provides access to these timberlands within the Willamette National Forest. For those tracing historical routes, the Goldhill - Quentin Segment trail cuts across the slopes of Tidbits Mtn, passing near distinctive geological formations like Pipe Rock. This map documents a modern snapshot of a working forest landscape, where the naming of every creek, from Flunky Cr to Elbow Cr, reflects a long history of exploration and management in the Oregon Cascades.
