2023 Map of Akawa Butte

About this map

Akawa Butte rises as a prominent landmark on this high desert landscape, marking the transition where the Crooked River National Grassland meets the Deschutes National Forest. The map captures a rugged topography defined by deep drainage systems like Akawa Gulch, Potter Canyon, and the dramatic Whychus Creek Canyon. The small settlement of Geneva sits in the northeastern quadrant, providing a rare point of habitation in a region otherwise dominated by expansive public lands and the arid expanse of the Lower Desert.
