2017 Map of Diamond Peak

About this map

Diamond Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest. The 2017 survey reveals a complex network of alpine hydrology, where small, descriptively named bodies of water like Too Much Bear Lake, Notch Lake, and Happy Lake dot the basins between volcanic features. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, crossing the boundary between Lane and Klamath counties near the base of Mt Yoran. This map captures the modern recreational and conservation footprint of the Oregon Cascades, showing the structural engineering of the Salt Creek Tunnel 2539 and the legacy of the Public Land Survey System through numbered land blocks like PB 47 and PB 48. Notable peaks including Hemlock Butte and Judd Mtn overlook drainage systems like Swift Cr and the S Fork Salt Cr.
