2024 Map of Waldo Lake

About this map

Waldo Lake dominates the center of this high-altitude landscape, feeding the North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River along its western shore. Protected within the Waldo Lake Wilderness and Willamette National Forest, the region is characterized by an intricate network of alpine lakes and meadows including Pothole Meadow and Cupit Mary Meadow. The terrain rises sharply to peaks like Fuji Mtn and Mt Ray, while the western edge is defined by the steep descent of Bunchgrass Ridge. This 2024 survey documents a modern recreational landscape where the historic Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl intersects with local routes like the Jim Weaver Loop (Waldo Lake) Trl, illustrating the continued preservation of this roadless interior since the wilderness designation.
