About this map

Paulina Peak anchors the dramatic topography of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument in the central Oregon Cascades. This landscape is defined by the massive Newberry Volcano caldera, containing the deep waters of Paulina Lake and its outlet at Paulina Falls. The map reveals a complex network of geological formations, including the Lakeshore Domes and a series of distinctive volcanic vents such as Dukdakwasam Butte, Huna Butte, and Deadfall Butte.

Managed as part of the Deschutes National Forest, the area is heavily marked by recreation and exploration infrastructure. A dense system of trails, including the Peter Skene Ogden Trl and the Crater Rim Trl, provides access across the Paulina Mountains. This recent survey serves as a definitive record of the volcanic landforms and trail systems that define one of the region's most significant geological features.
