About this map

Crater Lake and its sheer volcanic rim define this landscape, as documented in this 1999 revision of the eastern caldera. The map details the intricate topography of the lake's edge, where the Cleetwood Cove Trail descends to the water's surface near the Boat Landing and Gaging Station. Further south, the dramatic island known as the Phantom Ship sits in Danger Bay, overshadowed by the towering Dutton Cliff.

The eastern high ground is dominated by Mount Scott and its lookout, providing a commanding view over the Anderson Bluffs. Geologic features like the Pumice Castle and the Wineglass formation on the Palisades suggest the intense volcanic activity that shaped this region. Numerous drainages, including Wheeler Creek and Sand Creek, carry snowmelt from the high ridges like Grayback Ridge and Vidae Ridge toward the southeast boundary of the Crater Lake National Park.
