About this map

MT Hood dominates this survey, its glaciated peak giving way to the sprawling timber of the Mount Hood National Forest. The high-altitude architecture of Timberline Lodge and the Silcox Warming Hut stand as central landmarks for the recreation economy that took hold in the mid-20th century. To the south, Government Camp serves as a hub for travelers navigating the mountain's lower slopes near the Summit Ranger Station.

The map reveals a landscape defined by both recreation and historic transit, notably tracing the route of the Barlow Road through Barlow Pass. This corridor, along with the Skyline Trail and Timberline Trail, connects isolated sites like Barlow Guard Station and Summit Meadows. Glacial features such as Reid Glacier and Zigzag Glacier feed into a complex network of drainages including the Sandy River and White River, shaping the terrain around Multorpor Mtn and Trillium Lake.
