| Site: | The profile of the stratovolcano closely resembles that of Mount Hood; the cliff in the middle distance appears to be Cape Horn on the Columbia River. |
| Note: | Although the background is sketched in a not very detailed manner, the foreground is highly finished, suggesting that this is not a sketch. The white object at the lower right, reflected in the water, may be a sailboat. |
| Identification: | Assigned, descriptive title based on resemblence to other Schafer paintings of similar scenes. The alternate title "Mt. Shasta" appears to be an incorrect guess. |
