About this map

Crater Lake National Park occupies the northern half of this landscape, characterized by dramatic geologic features and high-elevation watersheds. The prominent volcanic spire of Union Peak serves as a central landmark, standing above the Pumice Flat and the surrounding timberlands of the Rogue River National Forest and Winema National Forest. This late-1990s revision details the established recreational infrastructure of the era, including the Mazama Campground and the Lodgepole Picnic Area.

The hydrography of the region is defined by numerous springs and cascading water, such as Annie Spring and the significant drops at Duwee Falls and Red Blanket Falls. Within the Sky Lakes Wilderness, the terrain shifts toward more secluded features like Lucky Meadow and Stuart Falls. The presence of an underground powerline and a gaging station near the park entrance station reflects the ongoing management of this protected wilderness at the close of the twentieth century.
