HlLLMAN STEEL POINTS (JUNIOR) VOL. 1 AUGUST, 1925 No. 2 CRATER LAKE Crater Lake National Park is located on the summit of the Cascade range of mountains, in Southern Oregon, and contains 249 square miles, one-fifth the size of Rhode Island. It was created by act of congress, approved May 22, 1902, and within it is one of the world's greatest natural curiosities. Originally a mountain 15,000 feet high, covered with perpetual snow and great glaciers, it emitted a stream of boiling lava that filled vast canyons. The world was unsettled in those days and the elements were at war. Finally a time came when this immense mountain tottered and fell within itself, 17 cubic miles of matter disappearing within it, leaving a cauldron five and one-half miles in diameter, a seething mass of hoiling lava, probably 5,000 feet deep, as all that part of the mountain above 7,000 feet elevation disappeared. Ages came and went as the days, and this boiling mass began to cool. Slowly, hut surely. Snows and rains descended, evaporated and disappeared. Finally a little pocket in the cooling lava filled with water, but the warm base and sun dried it up. Bye and bye others appeared and were a little larger. The cooling process continued. At last little pools continued over Summer and Winter and increased in size, then they joined and spread over more lava.

  • Crater Lake U.S
    National Park National Park Service Crater Lake U.S. Department of the Interior People and Place Crater Lake has long attracted the wonder and admiration of people all over the world. Its depth of 1,932 feet (589 meters) makes it the deepest lake in the United States. The lake was formed after the collapse of an ancient vol­ cano now called Mount Mazama. This collapse formed a "caldera" which is a Spanish word for "kettle" or "boiler" and is used by geologists to describe a large basin-shaped volcanic depression. This eruption is estimated to have occurred 7,700 years ago. The interaction of people and this place is traceable for at least this many years. European contact is fairly recent, starting in 1853. First Sight In the spring of 1853, eleven miners three members from this party came from Yreka, California stopped in for upon a large body of water sitting in a supplies at Isaac Skeeter's mercantile huge depression.

    The Evolving Landscape of the Columbia River Gorge Jim E. O’Connor Carleton Watkins, photographer, OHS neg., OrHi A reprint from the Oregon Historical Quarterly Special Issue Dissecting the Columbia: Lewis and Clark West of the Divide William L. Lang, guest editor Volume , Number Fall the journal of record for oregon history Jim E. O’Connor The Evolving Landscape of the Columbia River Gorge Lewis and Clark and Cataclysms on the Columbia ravelers retracing lewis and clark’s journey to the Pacific over the past two hundred years have witnessed tre- mendous change to the Columbia River Gorge and its pri- mary feature, the Columbia River. Dams, reservoirs, timber Tharvest, altered fisheries, transportation infrastructure, and growth and shrinkage of communities have transformed the river and valley. This radically different geography of human use and habitation is commonly contrasted with the sometimes romantic view of a prior time provided both by early nineteenth-century chroniclers and present-day critics of the modern condition — an ecotopia of plentiful and perpetual resources sustaining a stable culture from time immemorial. Reality is more com- plicated. Certainly the human-caused changes to the Columbia River and the gorge since Lewis and Clark have been profound; but the geologic his- tory of immense floods, landslides, and volcanic eruptions that occurred before their journey had equally, if not more, acute effects on landscapes and societies of the gorge. In many ways, the Lewis and Clark Expedi- tion can be viewed as a hinge point for the Columbia River, the changes engineered to the river and its valley in the two hundred years since their visit mirrored by tremendous changes geologically engendered in the thousands of years before.

Before Crater Lake came into existence, a cluster of volcanoes dominated the landscape. This cluster, called Mount Mazama (for the Portland, Oregon, climbing club the Mazamas), was destroyed during an enormous explosive eruption 7,700 years ago. So much molten rock was expelled that the summit area collapsed during the eruption to form a large volcanic depression, or caldera.

It still is. -Klamathdder, 1999 G BEFORE EUROPEANS GLIMPSED the Pacific Northwest, Crater Lake was well known to many Native peoples of the region. L To the east of the lake, Klamaths lived alongside the high-altitude desert lakes of south-central Oregon. To the west, in the rugged and densely forested western slopes of the Cascades, were the Molalas. Farther to the west, in the river valleys of the western Cascades, the Takelmas lived in the Upper Rogue River Basin and the Athapaskan-speaking Upper Umpquas lived on the river of the same name. All of these peoples knew of Crater Lake, and all had legends ofits genesis.
