Mount Mazama, located in southern Oregon, was formed by volcanic activity and is best known for its collapse that created Crater Lake. While it was not "discovered" in the traditional sense since it is a natural geological feature, it was first documented by European American settlers in the mid-19th century. John Wesley Hillman is often credited with the first recorded sighting of the mountain in 1853. The area has been significant to Native American tribes long before European contact.
