1967 Map of Crescent Lake

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, dominated by the eastern shore of Crescent Lake and its intricate shoreline features like Simax Bay and Zims Point. The topography is marked by several volcanic peaks, including Little Odell Butte and Beales Butte, which rise above the surrounding timberland. A significant portion of the southeastern quadrangle is occupied by Big Marsh, a complex wetland system fed by Big Marsh Creek. The Southern Pacific railroad line provides the primary transportation corridor through this wilderness, passing through the small settlement of Umli. This 1967 field check documents the area's mix of recreation and resource management, showing campgrounds near Rainbow Point and the natural cold storage of Refrigerator.
