Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon
Overview for Geologic Field-Trip Guides to Mount Mazama, Crater Lake Caldera, and Newberry Volcano, Oregon Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5022–J U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover (top photo): View east-northeast from Garfield Peak on the south rim of Crater Lake caldera. Peak on skyline is 8,929 feet (2,722 meters) Mount Scott, an ~420 thousand years before present (ka) dacite stratovolcano considered to be part of Mount Mazama, the volcano that collapsed during the caldera-forming eruption ~7,700 years ago. The caldera walls in this view expose Mazama lava flows and fragmental deposits from as old as ~400 ka at Phantom Cone, adjacent to tiny Phantom Ship island, to as young as ~27 ka at Redcloud Cliff, the V-shaped face at the top of the wall left of center. The beheaded glacial valley of Kerr Notch, the low point on the caldera rim, is seen between Phantom Ship and Mount Scott. Photograph by Carly McLanahan. Cover (bottom photo): Newberry Volcano, Oregon, is the largest volcano in the Cascades volcanic arc. This north-facing view taken from the volcano’s peak, Paulina Peak (elevation 7,984 feet), encompasses much of the volcano’s 4-by-5-milewide central caldera, a volcanic depression formed in a powerful explosive eruption about 75,000 years ago. The caldera’s two lakes, Paulina Lake (left) and the slightly higher East Lake (right), are fed in part by active hot springs heated by molten rock (magma) deep beneath the caldera. The Central Pumice Cone sits between the lakes.

USGS Scientific Investigations Map 2832, Pamphlet
Geologic Map of Mount Mazama and Crater Lake Caldera, Oregon By Charles R. Bacon Pamphlet to accompany Scientific Investigations Map 2832 View from the south-southwest rim of Crater Lake caldera showing the caldera wall from Hillman Peak on the west to Cleetwood Cove on the north. Crater Lake fills half of the 8- by 10-km-diameter caldera formed during the climactic eruption of Mount Mazama volcano approximately 7,700 years ago. Volcanic rocks exposed in the caldera walls and on the flanks record over 400,000 years of eruptive history. The exposed cinder cone and andesite lava flows on Wizard Island represent only 2 percent of the total volume of postcaldera volcanic rock that is largely covered by Crater Lake. Beyond Wizard Island, the great cliff of Llao Rock, rhyodacite lava emplaced 100–200 years before the caldera-forming eruption, dominates the northwest caldera wall where andesite lava flows at the lakeshore are approximately 150,000 years old. 2008 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey This page intentionally left blank.

Rogue Gorge (Mt
Rogue Gorge (Mt. Stella) Roadless Area-- T30S R3E (primarily in portions of Sections 23, 26, 33, 34 & 35) Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest--High Cascades Ranger District Upper, higher elevation trail provides two expansive summit top views of the Crater Lake Rim and crest of the southern Cascades. Additionally, two, lower, old growth-lined trails closely parallel the upper Rogue River within this same roadless area. A longer 7 mile, (north-south) river trail, follows just above the Rogue River’s westside. While a shorter 3.5 mile trail provides easy access opportunities on the opposite shore to outstanding riverside views of the geologically remarkable “Rogue Gorge” and “Natural Bridge”— the latter being the southern access to the riverside portion of this remarkable roadless area. All 4 recommended hikes (described below) in this most varied roadless area are easily accessible from the main Crater Lake Hwy. 62 (& Hwy. 230). Also, nearby and outside this proposed Wilderness area are 3 local area campgrounds, a restaurant, rustic cabins, and a small store. Upper Rogue River along trail #1034A at the confluence with Union Creek. Rogue Gorge Roadless Area—Page 2 The 2,300 acres Rogue Gorge proposed Wilderness area, bordered along its east side by the upper Rogue River, provides unspoiled vistas along the river and the Crater Lake/Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Highway. The lower elevations of this old growth dominated, riverside roadless area provide a scenic backdrop for the Forest Service’s Farewell Bend and Union Creek Campgrounds, as well as the geologically remarkable “Rogue (River) Gorge”. All described trailheads below are located just off the Crater Lake Highway 62-230, immediately north and south of the 56 mile post at Union Creek (private restaurant and resort).

Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: a Study of the Botanical and Human Responses to a Geologic Event
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robyn A. Green for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Geology. Botany and Plant Pathology. and Anthropology presented on June 3. 1998. Title: Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: A Study of the Botanical and Human Responses to a Geologic Event Abstract approved: / Robert J. Lillie Crater Lake, located in the southern Cascade mountains of Oregon, is the seventh deepest lake in the world. Unlike a majority of the deepest lakes in the world, found in continental rift valleys, Crater Lake is in the caldera of a volcano. For the young at heart and mind, those willing to descend (and ascend) about 700 feet to Cleetwood Cove can undertake a boat tour of Crater Lake. From the boat, Crater Lake is more than just a beautiful blue lake; it becomes the inside of a volcano, where the response of people and plants to a geologic event can be investigated. The catastrophic eruption of Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago affected both plant and human populations. Before pumice and ash from the volcano blanketed the landscape like freshly fallen snow, the forests to the east of Mount Mazama were dominated by ponderosa and lodgepole pine. Within the immediate vicinity of the volcano all life was obliterated; the force of the eruptive material toppled vegetation and buried it with ash and pumice. Through the recovery process of succession, life has slowly returned to Crater Lake. Forests surrounding the lake are now dominated by mountain hemlock, whitebark pine, and lodgepole pine. These plants not only depict the process of succession, but also of adaptation to a volcanic environment.

What I had heard about the place had filled me with awe and expectation, tempered by a little skepticism. I was personally conducted by patriotic and hos pitable Oregonians who met me in sight of the fountains of Klamath, put me in a motor car and sped me northward through great forests and across wide prairies which once, not long since, had been an almost inaccessible wilderness. The immensity of the extinct volcano whither we were bound, that in prehistoric times had strewn the entire countryside with powdered stone, was hard to grasp. It was July. We climbed the wooded slopes to the snows, forged through the melting drifts to the very lip of the crater and suddenly looked down upon a scene celebrated in Indian myth, and unique in all America. Some thousand feet below us lay a bottomless crystal lake, six miles across dotted with black volcanic islands. My delight in the grandeur of this view, it must be confessed, was heightened by the knowledge that the lake was in habited by large rainbow trout which would rise to the fly.
