2014 Map of Clear Lake

About this map

The Underwater Forest within Clear Lake defines this high-elevation landscape, where 3,000-year-old trees remain preserved beneath the water's surface. Located along the boundary of the Willamette National Forest, this 2014 survey documents a geologic environment shaped by volcanic activity, featuring the Twin Craters and the McKenzie River headwaters. The topography transition from Bunchgrass Ridge toward the Cascade Range peaks is punctuated by numerous alpine water bodies like Robinson Lake and Patjens Lakes. Transportation is centered on the McKenzie Hwy and forest routes such as Nat For Dev Rd 2664, which provide access to the Carmen Reservoir and the Iee-cap Spring. The map captures the complex drainage of the high Cascades, where seasonal and permanent creeks like Anderson Cr and Kink Cr traverse the timbered valleys of Hidden Valley and Hidden Valley.
