About this map

Crater Lake National Park and the surrounding volcanic terrain define this section of the Southern Cascades. The map is centered on the distinct spire of Union Peak, a prominent landmark for travelers along the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl. To the northeast, the volcanic geology is further evidenced by Scoria Cone and the Godfrey Glen and Colonnades, where Annie Creek has carved through ancient ash and pumice deposits.

A network of historical trails and forest routes, such as the Union Peak Trl and Stuart Falls Trl, provide access to secluded water features like Stuart Falls and Red Blanket Falls. The landscape transitions from the protected park boundaries into the Rogue River National Forest and Sky Lakes Wilderness to the south. Notable high points like Bald Top and Jerry Mtn overlook the Lucky Meadows, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Rogue Watershed and the upper reaches of Red Blanket Creek.
