About this map

The dramatic eastern caldera rim of Crater Lake dominates this survey, showcasing the geological formations and vantage points of Crater Lake National Park. The landscape is defined by its sheer verticality, dropping from high points like Mt Scott and Garfield Peak toward the deep blue of Steel Bay and Cleetwood Cove. The intricate shoreline is marked by distinctive formations such as the Wineglass, Skell Head, and the isolated Phantom Ship rock.

Along the rugged periphery, Rim Dr provides the primary access to famous overlooks including Victor View and Pumice Castle. The map detail traces the drainage of several creeks away from the rim, including Sand Cr and Wheeler Cr, which carve through the pumice-heavy terrain of Kerr Valley. Notable landmark features like Dutton Cliff and Vidae Cliff illustrate the massive volcanic history of the region, while lower-elevation points such as Sun Meadows offer a contrast to the high, exposed rock faces of the Palisades.
