About this map

Green Peter Lake and the Middle Santiam River dominate the southern portion of this mid-1980s landscape, where the Cascades' drainage systems converge. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Yellowstone Mountain, Crabtree Mountain, and the curiously named Gobblers Knob. These heights separate deep-cut drainages like Quartzville Creek and Crabtree Creek.

Resource extraction and recreation are evident throughout the quadrangle, marked by several quarries, a borrow pit, and a gravel pit. Public access points like the Dogwood Picnic Area near Cascade Falls suggest the area's use as a mountain retreat. A gaging station on the river indicates the importance of water management in this high-elevation watershed during the latter part of the twentieth century.
