About this map

Mt Washington serves as the focal point of this high-elevation landscape, where the volcanic history of the Cascade Range is on full display. The area is defined by massive geological formations including Belknap Crater, Little Belknap, and Black Crater, which dominate the central and southern portions of the terrain. This environment is transected by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which snakes through the lava fields and forests between Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest.

Transport through this challenging topography is concentrated at McKenzie Pass, where the roadway passes near Lava Camp Lake and Millican Crater. The northern reaches of the quadrangle contain several high-mountain water bodies such as Big Lake, Shadow Lake, and Washington Ponds, alongside a network of seasonal routes like Trail #2 - Cross District Trail (Snow). This survey captures the intersection of three counties—Linn, Deschutes, and Lane—at a point defined by some of Oregon's most distinct volcanic landmarks.
