2014 Map of Walker Mountain

About this map

Walker Mountain dominates this portion of the high Cascades landscape, marking a prominent topographic high point within the Deschutes National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of significant volcanic features and escarpments, most notably Walker Rim, which stretches across the northern sections of the map. This area serves as a critical transition between the Deschutes and Winema National Forest, where high-elevation summits like Marmot Butte and Skookum Butte overlook a network of forest service roads. The presence of isolated water sources such as South Walker Spring, Skookum Spring, and Walker Rim Spring provides insight into the hydrology of this arid timberland, while the passage of The Dalles California Hwy through the western edge underscores the importance of this corridor for regional connectivity.
