2014 Map of Pelican Butte

About this map

Pelican Butte and the surrounding high country of the southern Cascades dominate this 2014 survey at the boundary of Rogue River National Forest and Winema National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of alpine water bodies, including Isherwood Lake, Lake Elizabeth, and the Heavenly Twin Lakes. Winding through the western half of the map, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail provides the primary transit corridor through this protected wilderness. High points such as Imagination Peak, Cherry Peak, and Lost Peak rise above the basins, while smaller features like Cold Spring and Wizzard Lake offer specific landmarks for backcountry navigation. The map illustrates the contemporary management of these forest lands, where multiple drainages like Cherry Cr and Rock Cr flow away from the central volcanic uplands.
