1986 Map of Willamette Pass

About this map

Odell Lake serves as a central landmark for this mountainous region where the Willamette National Forest meets the Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is marked by the high-elevation divide at Willamette Pass, a critical corridor for both recreation and transportation as evidenced by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Willamette Pass Ski Area. To the south, the Diamond Peak Wilderness protects a high-alpine environment dotted with numerous water bodies like Yoran Lake, Karen Lake, and Diamond View Lake. Local history is captured through specific recreational sites such as Salt Creek Falls Campground and Rankins Horse Pasture, which reflect the area's development for outdoor use in the mid-1980s. The presence of multiple campsites around the lake shore, including Trapper Creek Campground and Princess Creek Campground, highlights the importance of the shoreline for seasonal visitors.
