About this map

Paulina Lake sits at the center of this volcanic high-country landscape, its western shore hosting the Paulina Lake Lodge and nearby recreational outposts. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Paulina Mountains, with Paulina Peak and North Paulina Peak providing significant vertical relief over the surrounding plateau. A complex network of Forest Service roads, including Jones Well Rd and Newberry Crater Rd, provides access to the backcountry, reflecting the era's focus on seasonal recreation and timber management.

Water flows out of the lake via Paulina Creek, where the distinctive Paulina Creek Falls and a further Waterfall mark the steep descent. To the west and south, the map identifies isolated features like McKay Butte and the Devils Horn, while several specialized camps, such as the Chief Paulina Horse Camp and Newberry Group Camp, illustrate the developed nature of this mountain getaway during the early 21st century.
