Williams Crater (Forgotten Crater) – Prominent Geological Features of Crater Lake National Park
Note: Formerly known as Forgotten Crater, Williams Crater was named after geologist Howell Williams. Located four tenths of a mile west of Hillman Peak, this crater can be seen as one rounds the north side of the Watchman. A flat hill, capped with red, it terminates the ridge that runs down from the Hillman Peak in a westerly direction. This volcanic outlet consists of two craters. The main crater has an approximate diameter of 300 feet and a depth of about 75 feet, and a small subsiding crater to the east of the main outlets has a 50 foot diameter and only a slight depth. ….
