2023 Map of Miller Lake

About this map

Miller Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the North Umpqua River emerge and the drainage of Miller Creek begins its descent. The terrain is defined by the volcanic features of the Cascade Range, including the prominent Adell Butte and Red Cone. This area serves as a significant intersection of protected lands, spanning the boundary between the Mount Thielsen Wilderness and the Winema National Forest. A complex network of backcountry routes, such as the Miller Lake Run Trl and Chemult Run Trl, illustrates the region's long-standing use for recreation and forest management. Small water sources like Swiss Spring and Forked Horn Springs are vital markers for those navigating these remote timberlands and high-country basins.
