1986 Map of Willamette Pass

About this map

Odell Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this high-altitude survey, serving as a primary focal point for recreation and transportation in the Cascades. The map documents the critical transit corridor through Willamette Pass, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail intersects with the developed Willamette Pass Ski Area. This area represents a meeting point of the Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest, characterized by an incredible density of small alpine lakes such as Diamond View Lake, Yoran Lake, and Marilyn Lake. The presence of Cascade Summit and Pengra Pass highlights the region's importance as a mountain crossing, while the extensive boundaries of the Diamond Peak Wilderness preserve the primitive character of the terrain south of the pass.
