About this map

Crater Lake National Park and Winema National Forest dominate this high-country landscape in Klamath County, where the volcanic topography is defined by prominent peaks like Pothole Butte, Lookout Butte, and Bear Butte. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Antelope Desert, a sharp contrast to the forested slopes and hills like Scout Hill that characterize the park's eastern boundary.

Water systems in this drainage area include the headwaters of Bear Cr, Pothole Cr, and Scott Cr, while human intervention is visible in the Sand Cr Canal to the south. A network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev RD 7007 and Sun Mountain RD, provides access through the timberlands. The inclusion of the Diamond Lake Snomo trail highlights the area's modern use for winter recreation amidst a landscape shaped by ancient geological activity.
