2011 Map of Lemolo Lake

About this map

Lemolo Lake serves as the central hub of this High Cascades landscape, where the waters of the North Umpqua River are diverted through the Lemolo Canal Number 1. This early 21st-century survey documents the infrastructure and recreation network within the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area, including the Lemolo Lake Resort and seasonal outposts like Lake Creek Forest Camp and Thielsen Forest Camp. The terrain is defined by volcanic features such as Elephant Mountain, Elbow Butte, and the expansive Pumice Flat. A complex system of forest routes and trails, including the Mountain Ts and Trunk Ts, provides access to the high-elevation Toolbox Meadows and the timbered slopes of Kelsey Mountain. The map illustrates the specialized management of the watershed, tracing the path of the Clearwater River and several named mountain creeks that feed into the Umpqua system.
