1956 Map of Diamond Lake

About this map

Diamond Lake sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex network of forest camps and conservation infrastructure. The map documents the recreational and administrative development of the high Cascades, featuring the State Fish Hatchery and the Diamond Lake Guard Sta alongside numerous seasonal sites like White Fir Forest Camp and Two Bear Cr Forest Camp. To the south, the dramatic volcanic landscape of Crater Lake National Park begins, marked by the distinctive Pumice Desert and a series of cinder cones such as Desert Cone and Red Cone. High peaks like Mt Thielsen and Mt Bailey define the skyline, while the Skyline Trail and Tipsoo Trail suggest the early routes of mountain transit. The convergence of four major administrative units—the Umpqua, Rogue River, and Deschutes National Forests—highlights the region's importance for resource management and preservation.
