About this map

Broken Top, a prominent glaciated peak in the Cascade Range, dominates this survey of the high central Oregon wilderness. Located within the Deschutes National Forest, the map captures a complex alpine environment defined by active ice and volcanic history. Notable features include Prouty Glacier and Bend Glacier clinging to the steep eastern faces, while the high-elevation Green Lakes and Todd Lake sit in the shadow of volcanic landmarks like Cayuse Crater and Broken Hand.

Evidence of historical water management appears with the Crater Cr Ditch, which traverses the slopes above Middle Fork Tumalo Cr. In the southern reaches, the Cascade Lakes Hwy provides the primary access route near Dutchman Flat and Sparks Lake. This 2014 edition provides a high-resolution look at the drainage patterns of Whychus Cr and Snow Cr before they descend toward the Deschutes River basin.
