About this map

Crater Lake National Park occupies the northeastern corner of this high-elevation landscape, where the volcanic geology of the Cascade Range is clearly visible through features like Maklaks Crater and Crater Peak. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines such as Grayback Ridge, Vidae Ridge, and Sand Ridge, which separate deep drainages like Annie Creek and Sun Creek.

Public lands dominate the area, with the Sky Lakes Wilderness and Winema National Forest providing a buffer of protected territory. This contemporary survey details a network of forest and fire roads, including the Crater Lake Highway and Crater Peak Fire Road Trl, alongside recreational paths like the Diamond Lake Snomo Trl. The map effectively illustrates the transition from the protected national park interior to the managed timber and wilderness areas to the south and west.
