1974 Map of Newberry Crater 4 NW

About this map

Newberry Crater dominates this mid-1970s orthophotograph, revealing the stark volcanic textures of the Oregon Cascades through high-altitude aerial imagery. The sheet focuses on the caldera's interior, where the dark, expansive waters of East Lake and the eastern edge of Paulina Lake are clearly visible against the complex flows and cinder formations of the crater floor. Beyond the immediate caldera rim to the south, the landscape shifts toward the isolated volcanic prominence of Box Butte. This 1974 survey captures the distinct vegetative patterns and geological structures of the high desert environment before modern recreational development intensified, providing a clear record of the volcanic landforms and the primitive road network winding through the pumice-heavy terrain.
