About this map

The high Cascade Range intersection of the Deschutes National Forest, Willamette National Forest, and Umpqua National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape. This map captures the headwaters and drainage divides of the central Cascades, where the Calapooya Mountains branch westward from the main range. Significant water bodies like the sprawling Crescent Lake, with its Tranquil Cove and Tandy Bay, contrast with high-elevation alpine basins holding Summit Lake, Timpanogas Lake, and the remote Nip and Tuck Lakes.

A dense network of recreational and historical trails crisscrosses the topography, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the Metolius-Windigo Trl. The map documents the boundary between Klamath and Douglas Counties as it traverses over peaks such as Cowhorn Mtn and Sawtooth Mtn. These ridges separate the drainage of Summit Creek and Whitefish Creek from the western-flowing Bradley Creek.
