About this map

Wapinitia Pass and Blue Box Pass anchor this high-elevation terrain, where the historic Barlow Rd follows the northern corridor through the Cascades. The map shows a landscape dominated by water and timber, centered on the expansive Clear Lake and its surrounding peaks, including Clear Lake Butte and Bird Butte. This area has long served as a critical passage for travelers, evidenced by the network of forest roads and historic routes like the Oregon Skyline Rd.

Forest camps and minor settlements such as Klingers Camp and Hickeyville suggest the recreational and operational history of the region. Distinctive features like Salmon River Meadows and Twin Lakes provide specific points of interest for those studying the drainage patterns of the Salmon River and Frog Creek. The concentration of sites like Bear Paw Forest Camp and Cedar Burn Camp underscores the importance of this territory for managed wilderness access and seasonal habitation.
