About this map

Crane Prairie Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this landscape, fed by the Deschutes River and Cultus River within the Deschutes National Forest. To the west, the volcanic terrain of the Cascade Range rises sharply, featuring prominent peaks such as Cultus Mtn and Bench Mark Butte. This 2024 survey captures a wilderness rich in hydrologic features, from the large expanse of Cultus Lake to smaller alpine waters like North Corral Lake and South Corral Lake.

A network of recreational and historical routes traverses the timbered slopes, including the Metolius-Windigo Trl and the Border To Border Trl. A notable local history landmark, the Billy Quinn Grave, is located near the western shore of the reservoir at Multiple Springs. The map also delineates the southeastern edge of the Three Sisters Wilderness, where the environment transitions into the high-elevation flats of Corral Swamp.
