About this map

Windigo Pass serves as a critical geographic marker along the high divide between the Deschutes National Forest and Umpqua National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its volcanic geology and alpine waters, featuring prominent summits like Tolo Mountain and Windigo Butte. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, tracing the crest of the Cascade Range near Mule Peak.

Lower elevations are marked by the headwaters of the N Umpqua River and its various tributaries such as Thirsty Cr and Tolo Cr. The terrain is punctuated by small, high-mountain lakes including Maidu Lake, Calamut Lake, and the Windigo Lakes. Notable meadows and open spaces, such as Kelsay Valley and Slim Prairie, provide distinct breaks in the dense forest cover, reflecting the complex ecological transitions characteristic of this section of the Oregon Cascades.
