2017 Map of Antelope Butte

About this map

Antelope Butte and its neighboring volcanic peaks dominate this high desert landscape in Lake County, Oregon. The terrain is characterized by dramatic escarpments and interior drainage basins, most notably where the Guano Rim overlooks the expansive Guano Valley. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparse network of infrastructure where water sources are the primary landmarks. Essential water points such as Slide Waterhole, Snake Eyes Spring, and Lane Spring are vital features in this arid environment. Transportation through the area relies on unpaved routes like Beattys Butte Rd, which skirts the base of the ridges. The map also captures significant landforms including Sage Hen Butte and the sharp descent of the Doherty Slide, providing a clear record of the geological and hydrological character of this portion of the Oregon high desert.
