About this map

Crater Lake National Park occupies the southeastern portion of this map, meeting the boundaries of both the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest. The high-altitude landscape is defined by volcanic features, most notably the wide expanse of the Pumice Desert and prominent peaks like Bald Crater and Gaywas Peak. These landmarks sit at the headwaters of significant regional waterways, including the Upper Rogue River and Cascade Creek.

Modern recreation and conservation routes are deeply integrated into the terrain, such as the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail crossing the southeast corner and the Boundary Springs Trail leading to the source of the Rogue River. Remote water sources like Oasis Spring and West Lake provide critical points of interest within the protected wilderness, illustrating the transition between the Douglas and Klamath County lines in the high Cascades.
