About this map

Wanderers Peak stands as a central high point in this 2020 landscape, which is dominated by the protected corridors of the Mount Hood National Forest and the Fish Creek Wild and Scenic River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the E Fork S Fork Clackamas River and curiously named tributaries like Silk Cr, Calico Cr, and Gingham Cr. These drainage patterns reveal the steep, serrated nature of the Cascades before modern development.

Evidence of early exploration and prospecting survives through labels such as Miners Butte and Dead Horse Butte. The map also captures numerous localized peaks including Fish Creek Mtn, Round Mtn, and Bracket Mtn. Isolated water bodies like Memaloose Lake and Surprise Lake are tucked into the high elevations, offering clear reference points for those studying the drainage of Wanderers Cr and the Wash Creek basin.
