About this map

Silver Lake and the surrounding high-elevation basins define this 2012 survey of the southern Cascades. The landscape is dotted with glacial and volcanic features, from the prominent volcanic peak of Red Cinder to the clustered waters of North Caribou and South Caribou. Recreation sites are concentrated around the larger water bodies, including Silver Bowl Campground, Rocky Knoll Campground, and the Silver Beach Picnic Area.

Further south, the terrain shifts into a complex of meadows and creeks. Heckle Ranch sits as a solitary outpost of human activity amidst a network of forest routes such as 30n72 and 30n07. Distinctive landmarks like Black Cinder Rock and Star Butte overlook drainage systems including Bailey Creek and Robbers Creek, while the headwaters of the Susan River emerge in the northeast corner of the quadrangle.
