About this map

Broken Top and the surrounding high-elevation volcanic peaks dominate this portion of the Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of glacial features and volcanic remnants, including the Bend Glacier, Crook Glacier, and Prouty Glacier. Water is central to the area's character, with alpine basins holding Green Lakes, Todd Lake, and the expansive Sparks Lake in the southwest.

Evidence of historical water management and recreational development is visible through the Crater Cr Ditch and a dense system of winter-use trails like the Dutchman Snowshoe and various Snomo routes. High-elevation meadows such as Park Meadow and Happy Valley are connected by significant trails like the Metolius-Windigo, tracing the movement of people and pack animals through this terrain. The Ray Atkeson Memorial near the lake shore serves as a specific point of cultural interest amidst the natural landmarks of Ball Butte and Tumalo Mtn.
