About this map

Diamond Lake sits at the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area, serving as a primary hub for recreation and seasonal residence in Douglas County. The shoreline is punctuated by facilities such as the Diamond Lake Post Office and the North End Boat Ramp, along with numerous established sites like White Fir Forest Camp and Pumice Beach. To the west, the massive profile of Mount Bailey dominates the terrain, while volcanic features like Rodley Butte and Hemlock Butte define the surrounding forest topography.

The drainage network highlights the region's hydrology, with Silent Creek and Camp Creek feeding the lake from the south, while the Clearwater River and Clearwater Falls appear in the northern reaches. This 2011 survey documents a modern infrastructure of forest camps, including the Howlock Mountain Horse Camp and Rabbit and Porcupine Creek Forest Camp, which support the long-standing tradition of outdoor tourism in the High Cascades.
