About this map

Diamond Lake sits at the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Umpqua National Forest, where volcanic geology defines every landform. To the west, the massive profile of Mt Bailey dominates the horizon, its eastern slopes descending toward Pumice Beach on the lakeshore. The area's complex hydrology is evident in the numerous drainages that feed and drain the basin, including the headwaters of the Clearwater River and Lake Cr.

Southern reaches of the survey show a cluster of smaller alpine water bodies such as Teal Lake and Horse Lake near Hemlock Butte. This 2017 study illustrates the extensive network of forest roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 4790 and Hemlock Butte Rd, which facilitate access to these landmarks. The terrain reflects a pristine environment where peaks like Rodley Butte rise above glacial and volcanic features, offering a snapshot of this Cascades recreation area in the early twenty-first century.
