About this map

Crater Lake National Park and the surrounding wilderness of the High Cascades are documented in this late-twentieth-century survey. The landscape is defined by its volcanic heritage, most notably the wide expanse of the Pumice Desert and various cinder cones such as Bald Crater and Desert Cone. This map captures a crucial transition where three major management areas meet: the national park, the Rogue River National Forest, and the Umpqua National Forest.

Hydrological features are prominent, including the headwaters of the Rogue River at Boundary Springs and smaller water sources like Oasis Spring. For hikers and researchers, the route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail is clearly delineated as it traverses the southern section of the quadrangle. Other notable landmarks include Lake West, Sherwood Butte, and Gaywas Peak, alongside the established Douglas Co Klamath Co line.
