About this map

Newberry Volcano and its complex geological structures dominate this portion of the Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is defined by the massive Crater Rim, which encircles the Newberry Crater and the deep waters of Paulina Lake. At the southwestern edge of the lake, Paulina Falls marks the start of Paulina Cr, a drainage that cuts through the volcanic terrain. High points like Paulina Peak offer significant elevation, while distinct features such as the Lakeshore Domes and McKay Butte dot the surrounding area.

A dense network of seasonal routes, including the Peter Skene Ogden trail and numerous snow-specific tracks like Newberry #1 (Snow) and the Paulina Nordic Loop (Snow), illustrates how this region is utilized for modern recreation and forest management. The presence of features like Deadfall Butte and Shaped Hill indicates a landscape shaped by recent volcanic activity and glacial history, preserved within the national forest system.
