About this map

Tumalo Falls serves as a central landmark within this portion of the Deschutes National Forest, where high-altitude hydrology and volcanic terrain define the landscape. The convergence of the North Fork Middle Fork Tumalo Creek and Bridge Creek near a local Gaging Station highlights the importance of water management in this region during the late 1980s. Recreation and survival infrastructure is well-documented through a network of remote outposts, including the Swampy Lakes Shelter, Tumalo Falls Shelter, and Swede Ridge Shelter.

To the northwest, the boundary of the Three Sisters Wilderness meets the alpine waters of Three Creek Lake and Driftwood Campground. Evidence of geological resource extraction is visible at several Cinder Pit locations, while prominent features like Triangle Hill and Bearwallow Butte provide significant topographic relief. The map illustrates a transition from managed forest land to protected wilderness, punctuated by named springs such as Farewell Spring and Jack Pine Spring.
