2023 Map of Hamaker Butte

About this map

Hamaker Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of the High Cascades, marking the divide between the Umpqua National Forest and the Rogue River-National Forest. The landscape is a high-elevation network of alpine openings and watercourses, characterized by numerous clearings such as Lonesome Meadow, Hamaker Meadows, and Park Meadows. These meadows are fed by an intricate system of drainages, including Fish Creek, Muir Creek, and the headwaters of the Rogue River. A notable concentration of specialized backcountry routes, such as the Hamaker Bluff Ohv Trl and Wizard Creek Snomo Trl, indicates the modern use of this terrain for seasonal recreation. The southeast corner transition into Crater Lake National Park near Sphagnum Bog highlights the region's protected status and unique volcanic geology.
