2020 Map of Diamond Peak

About this map

Diamond Peak stands as the primary landmark of this high-altitude region along the crest of the Cascade Range. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography and glaciated terrain, where numerous alpine basins hold named waters such as Vivian Lake, Notch Lake, and the uniquely named Too Much Bear Lake. The divide between the Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest follows the ridgeline, marking the boundary between Lane and Klamath counties. Transportation through this formidable environment is limited to significant engineering and recreational routes, including the Salt Creek Tunnel 2539 and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The map details a wild, non-residential area characterized by steep drainages like Pinto Creek and prominent summits including Mt Yoran and Bear Mountain.
