1997 Map of Wildcat Mountain

About this map

Mt Hood National Forest dominates this landscape, showing a transition from managed forest land to the protected reaches of the Salmon - Huckleberry Wilderness. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with the Salmon River and Sandy River converging in the northeast corner near a Mobile Home Park. Higher elevations are defined by prominent peaks including Wildcat Mtn, Huckleberry Mtn, and Old Baldy, which are separated by deep drainages like Boulder Creek and North Fork Eagle Creek. The map reflects a landscape primarily utilized for recreation and resource extraction, evidenced by Coffman Camp and the Wildcat Gravel Pit. Structural features like Mc Intyre Ridge dictate the flow of numerous tributaries, including Cheeney Creek and Alder Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Oregon Cascades.
