1963 Map of Lava Cast Forest

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Deschutes National Forest encompasses a landscape defined by volcanic activity and the transition between high desert and mountain ecosystems. This 1963 survey, updated through 1979, centers on the unique geologic formations of the Lava Cast Forest Road area. The presence of a Cinder Pit and multiple cinder cones like Mokst Butte and Sugar Pine Butte indicates the heavy volcanic influence that shaped this terrain. The map provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of the Lava Cast Forest Campground and the access routes across the Lava flows, which are significant for understanding the recreational and geological management of central Oregon during the mid-to-late 20th century. To the south, the terrain rises into the Paulina Mountains, where higher elevations like Kawak Butte overlook the vast lava fields below.
