2020 Map of Pelican Butte

About this map

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through a high-altitude landscape of volcanic peaks and alpine lakes within the Rogue River National Forest and Winema National Forest. This 2020 survey reveals an intricate network of water bodies, including the Heavenly Twin Lakes, Lake Notasha, and White Pine Lake, clustered around prominent heights like Luther Mtn and Imagination Peak. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Pelican Butte and the glacial basins containing the Snow Lakes. The presence of the Sky Lakes Cutoff and several named lake groups highlights the area's importance for wilderness navigation and recreation. These features, along with names like Lake No-Se-Um and Punky Lake, reflect the local naming traditions within this high-cascade environment.
