1975 Map of Prospect 1 NW

About this map

Crater Lake dominates the eastern half of this 1975 aerial perspective, revealing the stark contrast between the deep volcanic waters and the surrounding high-elevation terrain. The volcanic cone of Wizard Island stands prominently near the western shore, while the rim's infrastructure is represented by the Rim Village Campground. This orthophotoquad captures the landscape at a specific moment in the mid-1970s, showing the dense timber and drainage patterns of the western slopes leading toward Munson Ridge. To the south, the deep incision of Castle Creek carves through the forest, providing a clear look at the geological drainage system away from the caldera rim before modern environmental changes or significant infrastructure expansions altered the local footprint.
