About this map

Wapinitia Pass serves as a critical mountain corridor where the Clackamas Co Wasco Co line follows the crest of the Cascades. This high-country landscape is defined by its transition from the wet western slopes of Mount Hood National Forest to the drier eastern drainage. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal routes, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and specialized winter corridors like the Mud Creek Loop Nordic and Timothy Lake/High Rocks Snowmo tracks.

Water features are abundant across this alpine terrain, from the sprawling Clear Lake and Frog Lake to the headwaters of the Salmon Wild and Scenic River. Notable landmarks such as Frog Lake Buttes and Clear Lake Butte provide significant topographical relief. The survey also documents the precise locations of geologic and recreational interest points like Blue Box Pass, Abbot Pass, and the specialized environment of Little Crater Meadow.
