2017 Map of Waldo Mountain

About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Cascade Range, where the northern shore of Waldo Lake meets a complex network of glacial basins and volcanic peaks. The area is defined by its extensive water systems, including the Salmon Lakes, Lower Eddeeleo Lake, and the cluster of Erma Bells lakes. Landform features like Waldo Mountain and Irish Mountain provide significant relief above the surrounding flats and meadows. This 2017 survey shows a landscape primarily managed for conservation and recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Jim Weaver Loop (Waldo Lake) and various forest service routes such as Natl Forest Develop Road 2417 Rd. The map also captures several designated meadows, including Waldo Meadows and Moolack Flat, which break the dense forest cover near the headwaters of Fisher Creek and Moolack Creek.
