Each map begins with elevation data and is drawn by a pen plotter in our Vermont studio. The result merges mechanical precision with the organic texture and imperfections of real ink on paper.
Crater Lake fills the caldera left by the collapse of Mount Mazama roughly 7,700 years ago. At 1,943 feet deep, it is the deepest lake in the United States and among the clearest in the world, fed entirely by rain and snowmelt with no inlet or outlet streams. The caldera rim rises between 7,000 and 8,000 feet, encircling the lake in a nearly unbroken wall of volcanic rock.
This map captures the dramatic geometry of the caldera — the tight, concentric contour lines of the inner walls plunging toward the lake surface, and the more gradual slopes radiating outward across the flanks of the old volcano. Wizard Island, a cinder cone that rose from the caldera floor after the collapse, appears as a small cluster of rings within the lake. The map is a record of catastrophic geology: the ghost of a mountain turned inside out.
