About this map

Crater Lake National Park dominates the southern landscape of this 1985 survey, where the high-altitude terrain transitions from the volcanic slopes of Timber Crater toward the unique, open expanse of the Pumice Desert. The map captures a critical convergence of administrative boundaries, marking where the Umpqua National Forest and Winema National Forest meet the park's northern edge.

Traces of high-country transit are evident in the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it skirts the western peaks, including Grouse Hill. Significant historical markers such as the Old Indian Reservation Boundary and the Entrance Sta illustrate the managed nature of this wilderness. From the drainage of Tiny Creek to the summit of Sharp Peak, the map provides a record of the geologically distinct landscape in the mid-1980s.
