About this map

Crater Lake National Park and the Rogue River National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Southern Cascades. The map details a complex hydrologic network where headwaters like Copeland Creek, Bybee Creek, and Union Creek descend through heavy timber toward the Rogue River. A significant boundary between Jackson Co and Klamath Co bisects the terrain, marking the transition from protected forest land into the national park.

Evidence of human seasonal use is documented through Whisky Camp and Huckleberry Mtn Camp, while the southeastern corner reveals unique ecological features such as the Sphagnum Bog and the namesake Thousand Springs. A lone Quarry in the southwest corner and various unimproved roads indicate the extent of resource management and recreational access during the mid-1980s. The topography is dominated by peaks like Huckleberry Mtn and the steep drainages of Wizard Creek and Crater Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this volcanic region.
