About this map

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the high country of the central Cascades, winding past prominent volcanic landmarks and a network of high-elevation basins. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of The Twins and Maiden Peak, which dominate the central and southern portions of the sheet. Between these summits, a complex system of alpine hydrology is visible, featuring Charlton Lake, Bobby Lake, and smaller water bodies like Hidden Lake and Found Lake.

The map reveals a landscape managed by both the Bend Ranger District and Crescent Ranger District within the Deschutes National Forest. Open spaces such as Poverty Meadows and Long Meadow break the timberline, while Moore Creek and Charlton Creek drain the slopes. The inclusion of county lines, including the junction of Lake and Lane counties, provides essential geographic context for those tracing land use and administrative boundaries in this high-altitude wilderness.
