2011 Map of Diamond Peak

About this map

Diamond Peak and Mount Yoran anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Cascade Range, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and mountain drainages. The 2011 survey documents a wilderness accessible primarily via U.S. Forest Service roads, including Usfs RD 2149 and Usfs RD 5884, which wind through the timber towards significant water features like Salt Creek Falls and the curiously named Too Much Bear Lake. Small outposts such as Binghams Shelter and Diamond Camp provide evidence of human activity in an area otherwise defined by physical landmarks like the Devils Garden and Wolf Prairie. The map's hydrography is particularly dense, tracing the origins of Swift Creek, Bear Creek, and Pinto Creek as they descend from the volcanic summits toward the Willamette Valley.
