2011 Map of Abbott Butte

About this map

Abbott Butte Lookout stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape, where the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is crisscrossed by a network of timber and development roads. The 2011 survey reveals a geography defined by seasonal outposts and camps such as Cow Camp, Five Sticks Camp, and Freddy Camp, which likely support the regions ranching or forestry operations. The terrain is marked by significant physical landmarks including Quartz Mountain, the expansive Donegan Prairies, and the massive scar of the Buck Basin Burn in the south. An intricate drainage system feeds into Abbott Creek and its various forks, while specialized recreational sites like Huckleberry Lake Campground and Neal Springs Campground illustrate the area's transition into a modern recreational destination. Traces of earlier industry remain visible in the nomenclature of roads like Old Buzzard Mine Rd.
