1989 Map of Crater Lake

About this map

Crater Lake dominates the northeast quadrant of this landscape, its waters punctuated by Wizard Island and the jagged Phantom Ship. This 1989 compilation details the complex hydraulic and forested systems of the Cascade Range, showing the Rogue River flowing southwest through Cascade Gorge and into Lost Creek Lake. The map reveals a region defined by federal management and industrial extraction, with the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest bordering the Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness. In the settled areas, small communities like Prospect and Butte Falls serve as hubs for the local timber and hydroelectric economies, while the Cinnabar Mine and a network of aqueducts point to the area's geological and resource history. For those interested in recreation, Joseph Stewart State Park and Casey State Park are clearly marked along the river corridors.
