About this map

The Deschutes National Forest dominates this section of the Cascade Range, revealing a complex web of modern recreational infrastructure layered over the headwaters of the Tumalo Creek system. High-elevation drainage basins feed into Three Creek Lake and Tumalo Lake, while a network of seasonal routes like the Metolius-Windigo trail and Snomo #8 snowmobile path facilitate movement through the timber. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features including Triangle Hill, Bearwallow Butte, and the striking Tam Mcarthur Rim.

Hydrological patterns are particularly clear, showing the confluence of the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Tumalo Creek. Many of the labels, such as the Tumalo Creek Nordic Loop and Swede Ridge Loop, highlight the area's development for winter sports and trail-based exploration. Names like Happy Valley and Farewell Spring mark specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use in this part of Oregon.
