eye ever looked upon this peak, but geologists know that it existed 

 and that glaciers crept down its flanks and gouged out its canyons. 

 Through some cause unknown this mountam collapsed — its top fell 

 in, leaving the hole now occupied in part hy the lake, 2,000 feet deep. 

 Wizard Island (PL XVII, B) is a small volcanic cone built up from 

 the bottom of the pit and now probably extinct. From it may be 

 had superb views of the cliffs that surround the lake. The sky line 

 of these cliffs shows U-shaped notches (PI. XVIII, p. 54), which are 

 sections of the glaciated valleys that formerly headed high up on 

 Mount Mazama.

rocks have been eroded into cigar-shaped pinnacles and farther down 

 systems of parallel cracks in the rocks (jointing) give striking columnar 

 effects. On the oast, across Anna Canyon, stands Crater Peak (7,265 

 feet), one of the outlying basalt cones built up on top of the flows of 

 andesite that made the bulk of Mount Mazania. After 



through some finely forested, gently sloping country Anna Creek 

 enters upon the broad alluvial plain of upper Klamath Lake. 



Fort Klamath, on the western border of the Klamath Indian Reser- 

 vation, is now only a small viUage but was an active Army post at the 

 time when mihtary force was necessary to keep the Indians m order.
