About this map

Crater Peak and Maklaks Crater dominate the high ridges of this volcanic landscape during the mid-1980s. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between the southern reaches of Crater Lake National Park and the adjacent Winema National Forest. This survey documents a wilderness area largely shaped by natural features and historical land divisions, most notably the Old Indian Reservation Boundary that cuts across the timbered slopes of Grayback Ridge.

Water sources are vital markers in this high-elevation environment, with sites like Maklaks Spring, Cedar Spring, and the curiously named Mares Egg Spring providing landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. Evidence of infrastructure is limited but specific, including a Gaging Station and the Ponderosa Picnic Area, along with a powerline corridor that follows the drainage of Annie Creek toward the southern boundary.
