Cette carte est une vue panoramique du lac de cratère du volcan Mazama, dans l'Oregon, au coeur du parc national de Crater Lake, créé en 1902. Situé à 2 100 mètres d'altitude, il est le lac plus profond des États-Unis avec une profondeur de 597 mètres. Cette carte fait partie d'une série de vues panoramiques de plusieurs parcs nationaux, datant de 1914 ou 1915. En 1914, la technique la plus commune pour montrer les reliefs sur une carte était encore celle des lignes de contour, mais, dans cette série, Renshawe a plutôt utilisé un relief ombré graduel afin de rendre la carte plus lisible et accessible au public. Cette technique permet de mieux percevoir la tridimensionnalité du paysage en soulignant la topographie, les méandres, la végétation, les couches de neiges des environnements naturels de ces parcs. Elle sera par la suite reprise par l'USGS pour dessiner des cartes d'États.

This is a panoramic view of Mazama Volcano Crater Lake, Oregon, in the heart of Crater Lake National Park, established in 1902. Located 2100 meters above sea level, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States, up to 597 m deep.The map innovated in the representation of relief. In 1914, the most common technique for figuring them was contour lines, but in this series, Renshawe used a gradual shaded relief, which makes the map more readable and allows the reader to better perceive the three-dimensionality of the landscape by emphasizing topography, meanders, vegetation, layers of snow... The technique was to be used by the USGS to draw maps of the different States in the USA.

Cette carte a été commanditée par l'Institut géologique des Etats-Unis (U.S. Geological Survey ou USGS), organisme gouvernemental américain consacré aux sciences de la Terre, et notamment responsable de la surveillance de l'activité sismique sur son territoire et à travers le monde. Elle a été dessinée par John Henry Renshawe (1852-1934), topographe et dessinateur pour l'USGS depuis 1879.

The map was commissioned by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a government agency dedicated to earth sciences, and in particular responsible for monitoring national and global seismic activity. Part of a series of panoramic views of national parks, it was produced by John Henry Renshawe (1852-1934), topographer and draughtsman for the USGS since 1879.
