About this map

Newberry Volcano dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Deschutes National Forest, showcasing a complex of volcanic features centered on the Newberry Crater. The topography is defined by the massive Crater Rim and the Paulina Mountains, culminating at Paulina Peak. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the caldera, including the expanse of Paulina Lake and its western drainage through Paulina Cr, where the water drops over Paulina Creek Falls.

The map details an extensive network of forest access roads and recreational trails that follow the natural contours of the rim and buttes. Routes like the Peter Skene Ogden trail and the Paulina Lake Shore Loop illustrate how the area has been managed for public access. To the west, McKay Butte stands as a distinct landmark away from the primary crater complex, while named paths such as Paulina View and Ponderosa Rim trace the high ridges of this central Oregon geological monument.
