About this map

The high volcanic peaks of the Cascade Range dominate this 2017 study of Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of cinder cones and buttes, including the prominent Wanoga Butte and Kapka Butte. This terrain creates a natural hub for recreation, evidenced by an intricate network of specialized paths like the Lodgepole Loops, Swampy-Dutchman, and the aptly named Beginners Loop.

Water is scarce in this high-elevation forest, making Big Spring a critical local landmark among the timber. The map details a transition from forest service access roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 4615, to dedicated snowshoe and ski trails like the Nordeen Snowshoe Tie and Tiddlywinks. This 2010s-era data highlights the modern management of public lands for both timber and heavy recreational use near the eastern slopes of the mountains.
