1994 Map of Wahtum Lake

About this map

Waucoma Ridge serves as the dominant spine of this landscape within the Mt Hood National Forest, where the high-altitude Wahtum Lake sits as a central landmark for backcountry travel. The map documents the mid-1990s configuration of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds past Chinidere Mtn and Indian Springs. This area is defined by its strict management boundaries, including the Bull Run Watershed Management Unit, which restricts access to the west. Evidence of seasonal use and forest recreation is found at sites like WyEast Camp, 7½ Mile Camp, and Noble Camp. The terrain drops sharply toward the Columbia Wilderness and the Eagle Creek drainage, characterized by numerous unnamed Falls and steep ridges such as Sawtooth Mountain.
