About this map

Union Peak dominates the southern high country of Crater Lake National Park on this 2014 survey, where volcanic geology and wilderness hydrology define the landscape. The convergence of three distinct federal lands—the park, Rogue River National Forest, and Winema National Forest—meets near Red Blanket Cr. This boundary-heavy terrain serves as a critical headwaters area, protecting the Rogue Watershed and several significant cataracts including Duwee Falls, Stuart Falls, and Red Blanket Falls.

Evidence of the region's unique volcanic history is printed across the quadrangle, from the massive rock formations of Godfrey Glen and Colonnades to the stark Pumice Flat. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the sheet, providing a corridor between the high-altitude Munson Valley and the western slopes. Early regional infrastructure is noted by the S Entrance Rd and Annie Spring, long-established landmarks for visitors entering the park's southern reaches.
